I’ve always wanted a Cabinet of Curiosities, but have neither the time nor money to establish one. Luckily, we have museums, which serve as public cabinets of curiosities.
 Naturalist Center (Infested with Bloggers) |
At the NCMNS the coolest exhibit of all is a small room on the top floor, filled with taxidermy animals, skeletons, rocks, fossils, and dissection displays, the Naturalist Center. There are drawers filled with more specimens beyond what I’ve photographed, and the room really exemplifies the study of nature.
The room was filled with kids throughout the day, many of whom found it the most exciting place in the whole museum. At one point, a group of bloggers came in from the NCSBC 2008 conference, behaving much like the kids who were in there earlier. : )
