Blog #7 Museum of Natural History

On November 6, 2008, I went trip to Museum of Natural History in Manhattan with my entire classmate. I went this museum few times before so I felt comfortable than others. The first trip was about 10 years ago with my uncle. I went to New York City to visit my uncle and he took our family to the museum. We walked about all floors of museum and watched film about planet of Earth. Even though I couldn’t understand English at that time, everything seems pretty interesting to me.

In this trip I expected more information and knowledge about how human being evolved because I could understand more English than before and I believe that it is very interesting subject. That is the reasons why I focus on human origin section. I watched the foot print of human in millions years ago and I compared with mine. The old human being had really big foot and I questioned myself, “Are we still evolving?”. I also thought I can be the future displayed foot print next millions years later.

Next section that I had fun was hall of biodiversity. I saw all different species about land, ocean, and rain forest. It showed all Earth living species like bacteria and beetles, fungi and fish, microorganisms and mammals. All of these species are displayed at hall of biodiversity section and there are more than 1500 species. While I was watching all these species, I felt little bit sad because they were stuffed animals.

During this trip, I learned a lot, especially about human origin and biodiversity. It was wonderful trip that I had recently. Only one thing that I remorse about this trip was I couldn’t able to watch climate change film in 3rd floor. If I have other chance to go to Museum of Natural History, I definitely watch this film.

That was why you were familiar with this museum than anyone else. I realized museums in the NYC were another worlds that we could look at it. It was brilliant trip that enlightened me!!
