Some of New York’s biggest and brightest stars gathered at the American Museum of Natural History’s 2012 gala on November 15 in support of science education. Following cocktails in the recently restored Roosevelt Rotunda, guests enjoyed a dinner menu designed by Mario Batali and a performance by Maroon 5 in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life. Award-winning actress, writer and producer, Tina Fey, served as the Master of Ceremonies. An auction of extraordinary prizes was conducted by Jamie Niven of Sotheby’s.
