During spring break, I went to Washington DC with my sister and mother. We were just walking on the street without certain destination but suddenly found the place where a lot of people, especially children with parents were waiting. It was Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. We were able to enter without any fee so there was no ticket or receipt received from the museum. The museum has several exhibitions but I enjoyed hope diamond, gems and minerals room and human origins room the most. The museum overall has very realistic sculptures and models that seem so real. I argued that even though they seem that real, they are all made so therefore they are fake. However,my sister and mother stood against me and maintained they are taxidermied or stuffed animal. We were passing through mammals hall and all the mammals looked so real with skin texture, color, wrinkles and beard. Even some parts of clams were broken especially the upper parts and colored old like grey that were enough to make us confused. My mother was very surprised and impressed by the quality of the animals. I have never really seen her enjoying the museum so I feel very satisfied by seeing her happy. My mother especially enjoyed the hope diamond and gems and minerals room. We were able to see various types and colors of gems and jewels. We could also learn where they have come from and the time era they were found by human beings. I was impressed by each natural color each gem has. I feel like the room was lightened by the colors the jewels blow out. They all have different color but they were very shiny in common. There were also actual jewelry displayed that were made with the jewels explained. There were so many people, especially female adults enjoying the room by taking pictures of the jewels. Another room I enjoyed was the human origins. I could see things where I saw in my history textbook such as australopithecus. There were sculpture and models for each human origin based on specific time era. We could see how human being evolved with specific characteristic. There was estimated height for each human origin and we could actually compare with us. When I first looked at the sculptures of human origins, they were really like animals. I learned from textbooks that human beings were at the first resemble monkeys. However, by looking with my real eyes, I was surprised like how could evolved until this form from that form. Overall I had really good experience. My mother and sister said they would like to visit once more. I don’t really enjoy going museums but this experience changed my mind. Therefore, I am willing to visit natural history museum in upper side.
