DC Holiday Part 4b: The Museum of Natural History Bones

The other major part of the Museum of Natural History, at least the photogenic bit, are the fossils and animal mock-ups, like the grand elephant in the foyer. The first thing I found is an exhibit of a Sperm Whale, followed by a now-extinct creature from the Bering Sea known as the Stellar Sea Cow.



Next up is a really interesting skeleton of a huge turtle and a swordfish skeleton. To do the swordfish justice I took a shot of it both coming and going.




Finally, we wrap up with the celebrated T-Rex. The gallery was dark, and the flash doesn't make much of a dent in such a large space. Sorry.
