On the 29th day of the Shanghai lockdown, although the community is still in the sealing and control area, but the group purchase has been extremely hot, from the resident committee to only buy their official group, to now the private group blooms on all sides, the official group's projects are no one cares, ice cream, crayfish, coffee milk tea, various, this is the life that Shanghai should have. Continuing with travel notes from his first trip to England, ending a day of wandering around London, taking a night off to start a day of museum tours, the first stop in the morning was the British Natural History Museum.
The British Natural History Museum is the largest natural history museum in Europe, created in 1753, this new museum opened in 1963, the core building of the museum is a beautiful Victorian building, two high towers, huge arches, shaped like a medieval cathedral. The museum is open to the public for free, and when you enter the museum, you will be shocked by a huge blue whale skeleton, which is 25 meters long, suspended in the middle of the entire Sinz Hall, and also shows its swimming posture. Zinz Hall is the most beautiful hall in the entire museum building, and from here you can lead to the various pavilions.
The entire museum has 20 large exhibition halls, covering six aspects: paleontology, minerals, plants, animals, ecology and humans. There are fossil specimens of a variety of ancient creatures, including ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, giant Tyrannosaurus rex, and pterosaurs with a tail of up to 17 meters. There is also a giant squid that is 9 meters long. The animal exhibition area has the most tourists, many parents come with their children to visit and learn, all kinds of animals have complete specimens, bones, internal organs specimens, many animals were originally the stars of the zoo, very stories. There are no tourists in the mineral museum, there are huge rough diamonds, and there are rare Delhi purple sapphires, a sapphire called "Magic Gem" has a very legendary experience, a variety of minerals, really let us open our eyes. The museum is very large, although I have been watching it for half a day, I also feel that it is rushing by.
