I went to the Museum of the Earth last Saturday. It was my first time there, and we had a tour guide who took us through most of the exhibits. She told us that the museum was organized in chronological order (starting from the Big Bang).

I really liked how the museum was organized. Having exhibits in chronological order helped a lot. We were able to see specific geologic periods (Devonian, Jurassic, etc.) and concentrate on one at a time. My favorite was the Triassic period because the exhibit featured a giant snake-looking fossil (turns out it was some sort of ammonoid).

I was slightly disappointed by how small the museum was, but I felt that all of the exhibits had some interesting fossils and artifacts. Also, the museum was very kid-friendly and had a lot of signs that explained each collection in great detail. I like how the museum is clearly focused on education young kids about Earth’s history, and I hope to go back again soon.
