Museum

Sorry it's been a few days since I posted.
Went to the American Museum of Natural History on Saturday. It was pretty cool.
First we saw the frog exhibit, with the various types of frogs from all over the world including poison dart frogs.
The exhibit was very nicely laid out, with a glass enclosure with frogs in it, and then panels describing what type of frogs were displayed, and some facts about them.
The room itself was rather dark, lit enough to see around and such, but not super brightly lit.
There was also a special section on fictional frogs, with Kermit as the centerpiece which I thought was very cute.
Right outside the exhibit there was a special "Frog" shop, which had some nice shirts and mugs and such, as well as some nice reference books on frogs.
We then went through the 4th floor, which is where the dinosaurs are, as well as other fossils and such are located. That floor is always fun, and we found out in May there will be a new section/ exhibit on dinosaurs opening, which we are planning on going to.

After that we started on the third floor, but found another special exhibit on Native American jewelry and art. It was very nice, but not the kinda thing I actually am interested in. I thought it was going to be more ancient or older traditional pieces, but instead it was work by modern artisans. Nice, but not my thing, if I had realized what it would be, I wouldn't have paid the money for it.

All in all though it was a nice day.
