A $10 million gift from the Richard S. and Karen LeFrak Charitable Foundation will enable hundreds of thousands of New York City schoolchildren and summer campers to visit the American Museum of Natural History free, the museum is to announce on Thursday. The museum will name its fourth-floor special-exhibition gallery - the newest and largest temporary-exhibition space - the LeFrak Family Gallery. The free-admission program will apply to students and campers who are on group visits to the museum. The gift represents the second major donation from the LeFrak family. In 2001 Mr. LeFrak's parents, Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak, provided the money for a refurbishing the museum's Imax theater.
