会爬爬树的蚂蚁
- Rich and authoritative collection: more than 33 million specimens and cultural relics, covering paleontology (such as Tyrannosaurus rex, tangle skeleton), mineral gemstones (such as "hope diamond"), human civilization (Egyptian mummies, African tribal artworks), and other fields, It is one of the largest natural history museums in the world, with high scientific research and popular science value. - Exhibition Chen design is exquisite: known for immersive scene restoration, such as the grassland ecological set of the "African Mammal Hall", the starry sky dome of the "Cosmic Exhibition Hall", combined with multimedia interactive devices (such as dinosaur fossil dynamic demonstration), so that the exhibits "live", taking into account professionalism and fun. - Strong educational function: Opening workshops, lectures and planetarium screening activities for different ages, and even providing youth research internship projects, is a holy place for parents and nature lovers, attracting more than 5 million visitors per year. - Architecture and historical heritage: The classicist complex built in 1877 is itself a landmark, with red brick exterior walls with clock towers, internal promenades and dome murals highlighting a sense of solemnity, and has appeared in films such as "Museum Wonderful Night", which has both cultural and artistic charm. Disadvantages - The tour line is complicated: the number of exhibition halls is more than 45, some areas are not clear enough, the first visit is easy to get lost, it is recommended to download the official guide APP in advance to plan the route. - Intensive crowds in peak season: especially on weekends and summers, popular exhibition areas (such as dinosaur halls) often need to wait in line, take pictures or watch the exhibits up close, it is recommended to visit the staggered peak. - Tickets and consumption are high: tickets use the "suggested donation" model (adults usually start from $23), if you add special exhibitions, planetarium screenings and other projects, per capita consumption can reach more than $50, the restaurant options in the museum are small and the price is too expensive. - Some exhibits are updated slowly: some pavilions and interactive equipment in the paleobiology exhibition area are slightly outdated, and compared to the emerging science and technology museum, they are slightly behind in the digital experience.
