Day at Museum Of Natural History

Haha today for Bio lesson my class got a special treat: a trip to a museum of natural history (yes a, coz according to our lecturer, Igor, it wasn't the only natural museum in Moscow, it was the closest... a short bus ride & brisk walk from my uni & hostel... hehe)

The museum was huge. yet modest looking (as Mr. Igor kept putting it). it was a red-brick building which looked alot like a castle, what with it's large courtyard (it has a Forest!) & it's tall walls & 4 towers located at the corners of the building.

The entrance fee was only 35roubles, which is about only RM5 (with our student cheski of course)... cheap, even for M'sian standards, since the exhibitions were more then worth it... Don't believe me? i'll let these pictures speak for themselves...

*click to enlarge, right click to save... hehe*
earliest reptiles/ambhibians... each one about 2 metres in length!
they were literally hundreds of display cases like this showing fossils... this one is a fossilized... dino sperm lotus root. haha
