natural history museums
Dinosaur bone halls
Natural history museums are institutions that collect, preserve, and display specimens from the natural world—animals, plants, fossils, minerals, and geological formations.
They serve both scientific research and public education, housing everything from dinosaur skeletons to taxidermied wildlife to insect collections.
The kids spent hours at the natural history museum looking at gemstones.
