I visited this museum 10 years ago now when I was 14. I went to many museums in DC, and this was definitely my favorite one!! I love prehistoric sea creatures, so I was really happy to see the basilosaurus fossil. Knew what it was as soon as I saw it. It’d be so awesome to go back there one day!

Thanks for the tour and tips! I remember being impressed by the rocks and minerals when I visited years ago. Time to plan a trip!

I went there on a class trip in 1966. When I was 25 I went back. I was amazed that there was the Skeletal remains of a Mamoth from Newburgh, NY pretty close to where I am!

Wow! Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories. What an Incredible museum. I must go back!

[cinnabun]

Ah when I went there years ago that whale statue in the ocean section fed into my phobia so much! But I LOVED the mammal section. It was so cool to get to see these creatures up close, in a way that I wouldn’t ever be able to.

Most of my school age years our family lived at Alexandria Va. My dad was on assignment with USN administration across 8 years during both a Democratic US Pres Admin, and a Republican US Presid.

There are so many Smithsonian facilities w huge variety of interest / specialty sections.
It might take a couple of weeks to see all the bldgs or specialty sections. Soòo compelling & de l ightful. Such a FUN way to learn!!!
