Naturalis

Naturalis, national museum of natural history, is so much worth a visit! Finally we could go, and we all enjoyed it.


Of course we enjoyed the skeletons of several dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals and fossils. After all, that's what we came for. But there was so much more to see. It's such a pity that we lost our pictures, but if you close your eyes, you can imagine what we saw.

- many animals, plants and fungi in Nature Theatre (permanent exhibition)

- serving dinner in the Animalrestaurant, learning about stones,  discovering many natural processes in an oak tree in Earth Inside

- watching a whale movie in the cinema

- Research in Progress taught us more about chickens, very interesting!

- temporary exhibitions. Fatten Up and Go is about bird migration and shows many different birds and their routes. And Whales is about water mammals.  The exhibition shows how whales and dolphins communicate, what they eat, the way their senses work under water and how they raise their calves.


More info on their website, but you'd better go and see live! If you don't have the opportunity, the website will do, also the kids corner, which offers movies, games, information, colourings, e-cards, animal sounds, etc. etc. etc...
