Must go to the Natural History Museum!!

It is recommended to arrive at 9-10 o 'clock, there will be a lot of people in the afternoon, parking is the need to hover upstairs, more people are looking for parking Spaces and meeting cars are more painful, and it is very easy to go in the morning. It's quite big in there and there are several sections where tickets are sold separately!

When buying tickets, you can buy tickets for the special exhibition and theater, theater is a 3D giant screen movie, you can experience the seabed, the pyramid, and then determine the viewing time, so that you can better arrange the trip (it takes 1 hour).

Lunch: It is recommended to eat before 12 o 'clock, the lunch in the pavilion is fast food, think that texas toast is super delicious! At the peak of the meal season between 12:00 and 14:00, there is a long line for food and a hard time finding a table

Access: Except for special venues, they are all in and out multiple times, and you can go out to eat at noon and then come back to visit (but there seems to be no shops on foot nearby)

Visit the exhibition hall on the first floor: large dinosaur fossils, this one is especially worth a closer look! There are two real fossils, you can ask the staff which ones or I'll tell you, tyrannosaurus Rex and Tanystropheus are real!

It is recommended to last more than 1 hour, you can install google translator in advance, and use the real-time translation function of taking photos (after all, the English name of dinosaur is really too unfamiliar).

Looking at these fossils, I can't help but lament that the insignificance of human history is just a particle in the stars of the universe, and the resources of the earth do not belong to any human, we are just a drop in the ocean of witnesses.

Second floor exhibition hall: The small exhibition hall is the Cabinet Of Curiosity, maybe the domestic treasures do not know much about this. This is the predecessor of the museum! There was no museum before, most of the exhibits were in cabinets!

As the exhibits get bigger and bigger, the space is insufficient. Hey, this is also a knowledge point I know when teaching English fiction

The big exhibition hall is the raw stone, when you go in, you will feel that these raw stones are so beautiful, so beautiful, if it can be made into jewelry, it is good, the small safe exhibition hall inside to meet your wishes, really will flash blind.

(Inside is relatively dark, you can see dazzling diamond jewelry, as well as raw stone) different colors of different textures of The exhibits, do not know, walking to see the mobile phone software translated the answer, there are crystal, manganese, antimony, quartz, etc., crystalline mineral specimens, such as "The Alma Queen" (The Alma Queen).

There are also two galleries of taxidermy animals and sea creatures (shells), both of which are very lifelike, some of which are even hunters biting the butts of their victims. On one side are models of contemporary animals (very realistic, as if in a zoo), and on the other side are contemporary sea creatures (sunfish and giant squid are there, as well as lots of shells).


Marine life exhibition area, from the Gulf of Mexico, Western Pacific, San Diego, Australia and other different sea shellfish, some shapes are very strange, like needles, thorns, horns, ears, fish bones, dragonflies... Some are very large and some are very small, as small as the shell of a tiny snail.

Exhibition Hall on the third Floor: Ancient Egyptian Culture: This hall is the one I am most interested in! There are a lot of artifacts in it, and you'll find that many of them are borrowed from other museums, but they're displayed in great detail.

Walk into the exhibition hall, there will be a variety of mummy specimens! It's very spectacular. There is also an introduction to the primitive tribal cultures of the Americas (Indians, Amazons, etc.).

Fourth floor exhibition hall: Energy technology, Houston Petroleum development, urban development and energy introduction, this layer of babies do not have to visit for too long, it is good to see.
