At the entrance to the American Museum of Natural History's exhibition "Traveling the Silk Road", visitors come face-to-face with three life-size camel models decked out in full caravan regalia and loaded with trade goods. The camels and visitors are surrounded by a 120-foot-long mural depicting a landscape of sand dunes.
