Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTG

Blog Post Number 2

I went to the Museum of Natural History. The museum is a pretty spectacular place. The museum is a huge place with a lot of floors and even multiple buildings. Considering that each floor was completely filled exhibits, it was difficult to go around and see everything. Yet, everything that I saw was pretty remarkable. The historical artifacts were very interesting to look at. Both, the animal and human exhibits looked very much lifelike; so that made those exhibits very cool to see. The animals were set up to appear in their natural habitats, which was incredible and gave each exhibit a unique feel. The dinosaur area was phenomenal. There were many different fossils to look at, and the display of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was an amazing sight. Seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex was my favorite and coolest part of the day. On my way to the museum I kept on thinking if the actual museum and the museum in the movie, ‘The Night At The Museum’ would look similar, because the movie takes place in the Museum Of Natural History.  ‘The Night At The Museum’ was a great movie and put a certain curiosity in me to go out and see what the actual museum looks like. The museum scenes in the movie do not look exactly like the actual museum, but there were many exhibits that I saw that were in the movie, like the Tyrannosaurus. The museum is a little far from where I live, so it did take me some time to get there. However, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend everyone to go check it out. The museum does a great job of bringing the exhibits to life and it makes for a very engaging time there. I would say to try and allot as much time as you can in order to see the most exhibits as possible.
