Natural History Museum

For a complete change of scene, we hiked off to the Natural History museum. This museum holds more than 126 million specimens. They have an enormous stuffed African elephant in the entrance and many original dinosaur bones. Often in museums, they only have bone fragments, not complete skeletons and moulded plastic skeletons. Most of these were real bones, with an Allosaurus with a fractured clavicle and scapula!!
We also enjoyed the insect exhibit, seeing tarantulas, black widow spiders and scorpions. We have always noted how well laid out American museums are, and these 2 were no exception. After 4 hours we were quite museumed out, but I would like to return and do these again.
