So, for many of us, there's a particular museum that holds a special spot in all our hearts. For me, that's the Carnegie in Pittsburgh PA. Why? It's close(2.5 hours away), I've been there a ton, and it was my first museum. They have the largest collection of Jurassic dinosaurs anywhere in the world and the third largest collection of dinosaurs in the US. From the very first T.rex to the immense Apatosaurus, the Carnegie is a must see for any dinosaur fan....






































And this is just a small sample of the whole museum. There's an exhibit dedicated to sea reptiles and past sea life. There's an ancient Egypt exhibit, an Arcitc exhibit, mineral/gem exhibit, a modern animals exhibit, and an art museum as well. The Carnegie is certainly worth seeing! 5/5 stars!

The roadtrip my dad and I did a few weeks ago to Maine was pretty long and full of driving. Taking turns though helps break it up.

Forgot to mention, the Carnegie holds 22 million specimens, 10,000 of which are on display at any given time and 1 million are catologued in online databases.

Well, I don't live near much museums, bt I've been to a travelling exhibit, and the Field Museum, which is about a 4 hour drive from my house.

 

(Also, it would be pretty cool if museums used a few animatronics in exhibits, rather than just skeletons)

I've seen a few animatronics, but I agree, they should be more common.
