Natural History Museum

If you haven't had a chance to visit the Natural History Museum lately, it is well worth the trip. The museum has been going through a lot of renovations in the past 10 years. Some of the exhibits are even part of our course this semester. If you can't get to the museum itself, be sure to visit it online for interactive activities and news.
