Snow and Natural History

Last Monday campus was closed because of the heavy snow storm. Therefore, I decided to go to the Natural History Museum, even though the weather was so horrible that staying at the residence seemed like the normal thing to do. But I didn't care. I mustered courage and walked a few blocks until I entered the place. (Here's a picture of me in the snow storm, right before entering the building).

I loved the sea animals part. Especially the blue whale and the squid and the whale diorama (which reminded me of a movie I like very much, which is precisely called The Squid and the Whale because the main character, a kid, used to visit this museum with his family).
Some parts I think I couldn't appreciate so much because there was too much information everywhere, i.g., the Universe Hall had information overdose, but that's OK, because, if you take your time, you can get to learn so many things, not just natural science, but even paleoanthropology.
But, all in all, I think this museum is a wonderful museum.
Also, I took a picture of the sign advertising the consumption of tap water instead of bottled one, which I found so cool.

  2. There's a new exhibition at the Natural History Museum called, I believe, "The Power of Poison." It's supposed to be fascinating! Lina, you may have to return ; )
