A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM


























We spent a nice afternoon at the Museum fur Naturkunde, the Natural History Museum in Berlin.
This is the largest museum of natural history in Germany, and was established in 1810, It has a massive collection of more than 25 million zoological, paleontological, and minerological specimens, including more than ten thousand
type speciemen. It is most famous for two spectacular exhibits: the largest mounted dinosaur in the world, and the most exquisitely preserved specimen of the earliest known bird, Archaeopteryx.Additional exhibits include a mineral collection representing 75% of the minerals in the world, a large meteor collection, the largest piece of amber in the world; exhibits of the now-extinct quagga and tasmanian tiger, and "Bobby" the gorilla, a Berlin Zoo celebrity from the 1920s and 1930s.
We had a great time, we went with Teresa best friends,they are all so interested in animals but the thing they really enjoy was the submarine big model.
The kids are actualy too small for most of the stuff at the museum, but they had a grat time running around, dangerously near to the gian dinosaurus skeleton.
I'm not so pleased to take Teresa in a place with stuff animals, but i think is so much better than bring her to the zoo and show her this kind of cruelty, and of course it's the same for Circus with animal . It's a kind of compromise for explain and show kids animals and explain
them naturalism.
