One of the first things to greet you in
this museum is a great big woolly mammoth with an impressive set of tusks; I
would say that this sets the general tone for the rest of your visit as the
museum is comprised of local history and the natural world amongst other
things. The amount of exhibits is quite staggering really; the building looks
smaller on the outside so I was not expecting all too much however it
definitely delivered. There were interactive bits and pieces as one would
expect which were welcome breaks as I began to drag my feet every so often. I
was impressed with the number of bird specimens on display as well as the
detail to the environment they perched in; from vegetation to water it was very
convincing and made me want to buy the materials to play around with. From the
visit I’d say I’ve gained a new appreciation for my home town, turns out I didn’t
know as much of its history as I thought and so it was an enlightening
experience.
