A winter mid afternoon by the national museum
One of the cool lookin gothic buildings
Christmas fairgrounds by the musem site
The museum front entrance, it glows strangely
Now to add some tree for a spooky feel
This place needs more spooks like us
Ready to go vampire hunting?
The interior is stunning
and the crowds!
Not to mention cavernous
Neat lighting on a neat interior facade
Few of the small displays by the sidewalks
Lookie here!
Dinosaurs are best kept on the walls
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.
