Museum of Natural History

London's Natural History Museum is popular with Brits and tourists alike. Established in the era of the great naturalists, it's founder is most renowed for his vehement disagreement with Darwin about the theory of evolution. It's most notable collection is the dinosaur exhibit, where the girls were fascinated to seen the fossilized remains, including the nests and eggs. We learned, among other things, that T-Rex may not have been a predator after only but only a giant scavenger. We learned that if a T-Rex trips and falls it can't get back up again and we learned that there is now a vigourous debate that many dinosaurs were probably warm-blooded. We played an electronic game to distinguish between real dinosaurs and everything else in the prehistoric world. We saw great electronic recreations of how scientists currently think dinosaurs looked in real life, including the video above. But our favorite part of the museum by far was the Investigation Center, where we got to handle the specimens and view things under a microscope. The incredibly helfpul staff was on hand to make the experience special.
