This one's a big one!
Sloth de-evolution?
A size gauge of the fossils
Going dodo over dodos
Birds and a SWARM of them!
Place decked in a rather gothic museum-y setting
Oh so ostrich's ain't the biggest?
The insect & arachnid part of the displays
A bugged town it is.
At least we met some of the residents
Some where too small to be noticed
While some are just, well.
Some of the many interactive info booths
Here we are at the museum highlight
The tall ceilings here are a hint of what to expect...
Dinosaurs!
We have triceptops
A bipedal Rex like fossil
Various displays along the broadwalk
Most skeletons are suspended alongside the walk
Giving them a floating look
Woo, ust like a stegosaurus!
Going heads over heels
The smaller dinosaurs
An animatronic rexdisplay at the end of the broadwalk
The robot rex look consipated though
The lower floor features mostly dino education booths
See what I mean by "Dinosaurs in the air"
What's there's something behind me?
We always get to see them downunder anyway.
Overal view of the observation deck & displays
I second that theory on how the dinos died
The place was a fossil wonderland
Even this dino agrees!
Some Dino TV is always a welcome.
Miniaturized fossil exhibits
A fitting closing display for the dino section
Now onto the mammal section
Canines :P
Omg, what happened to Diego the Smilodon?
Meeting our friendly cetacean friends, specifically the Delphinidae!
Blue whales included too.
The sector is massive with a load of displays
Over view of the display area from the 2nd floor
Many of the walkways are lined with "filler" glass displays such as these between main sector areas.
Back at the main atrium to the exit
The museums's gothic look does grow on you
especially the more you look at it
That's all folks at the national history museum!
The ice rink just outside the natural history museum
