This past Friday, I was able to convince some friends to go back into the city with me and entertain me while i filled the requirement for my FRO class, but the museum ended up being far more entertaining than expected. Everything there, whether it was a part of an exhibit or not, was eye catching. One of the areas, that was probably my favorite, was the room with the dinosaur fossils, which i ended up buying a souvenir from! Dinosaurs are something that we usually just hear about in movies, television, or through random conversation, but actually being face-to-face with something so inexplicably big makes you think. Talking about big animals, the famous blue whale model hanging in the ocean hall of the museum was so huge that it dragged any attention of the room towards itself. My friends and i split up in this room, quietly taking pictures and admiring certain parts of the exhibit on our own. We also paid for the mummy exhibit, which my friends made me rush through so the most i got out of my money for the special mummy exhibit was a few captions and sight of some clay pots. Towards the end of our touristy antics, we were in in the exhibit with North American animals. This part of the museum was breathtaking. It was while the museum was about to close, since they close so early, so we we were basically in the exhibit by ourselves with the exception of a couple photographers. It was super quiet, and we enjoyed every minute of it up until the automated message on the museum loud speaker told us it was time to leave. All in all i hope to go back, because spending under three hours in such a large museum is wasteful.
