Great Natural History Museum

This is a really great natural history museum. It is not a big museum but the collection is well displayed and presents a comprehensive overview of geology, age of dinosaurs, regional natural history...

ただ並べられているだけではなく、触ることのできる化石やはく製、ボーンベッドの上のガラス張りの床を歩くなど工夫が詰まっています。古生物以外の展示も充実しており、子供連れなら２時間は楽しむことができるでしょう。
充実した展示内容

夏休みに子供を連れて行ってきました。展示内容がとても充実しており、地球の誕生から恐竜や古生物、現代の動植物、人類史、天文と自然史を全て網羅した内容で、予想以上に子供が好奇心を持って、楽しそうに見学してました。特に恐竜の化石や模型は迫力があり必見です！人間の身体の仕組みや成り立ちなど、大人も大変勉強できる施設です。
