Big...and empty
Monday, August 29, 2005
With fossils peppering the enormous entryway, one is excited to spend an entire day getting lost in the seemingly huge museum. This is not the case. The traveling exhibit area downstairs is the highlight of the place and has some decent exhibits, but that's all. There are 3 floors open to the public, the second having a movie theatre and the rest of the floor housing an exhibition of mediocre art about nature. The third floor was blocked off to the public (at least when I was there), so I felt the hour-lonng experience was not worth the ticket price. With another exhibit hall or without the animal art, maybe.
