We couldn't pass up an opportunity to visit and see the famous Hope diamond. The setting by Cartier was even more stunning than the famed stone itself. We spent a large part of our time in the gemstone and mineral area. So much to see and appreciate. I found we were all happier when we left before seeing it all as to push to take it all in would overwhelm the senses.
美国华盛顿广场必去的博物馆之一就是这家自然博物馆,这里趣味十足,从恐龙时代一直讲到人类,还有很多稀有矿石,慢慢走仔细看可以花上半天时间。纪念品区可以买到色彩丰富的小矿石纪念盒,非常漂亮!
There is something for everyone here. I absolutely loved the Rocks and Gems section. I could spend so much time there. Although I have seen a lot of animals, etc it is a wonderful place for families to go with children and there sure were a lot there.
展品非常有趣,而且我们10岁的女儿也玩得很开心。这里跟纽约自然历史博物馆是迥然不同的风格。我最喜欢的展品是珠宝,还展出了“希望”钻石,有45.5克拉!自助餐厅的匹萨是凉的,让人失望,不过还有许多其它食物可供选择。我建议学校放学之前去。
始创于1930年代的史密森学会博物馆们每一座都是非常有爱,各种适合从0到120的人群单独或组团游览。自然博物馆整理了非常多的珍奇标本以及有趣陈列,互动性也不错,可以见到处处用心的安排。强烈推荐!
This was an amazing place to visit. The gems, the bones, the mummy, the butterflies...on and on. Plan to spend no less than 2 hours!
这里不同的建筑群恰恰表明了这里的不同片区,相邻的建筑群之间都有一定的空间距离。有大量可以步行移动的空间。这一片的空气和空间都比较舒适清新,俄亥俄的空军博物馆相比这里明显要更高一级。
有特别多可看和可了解的东西,由于需要走很多路,所以要留出充足的时间,穿一双舒适的鞋子。我们为决定来着这样一段旅行感到高兴,但是这需要花几天的时间来把所有的地方都看完。你能想象得到,这里不收钱么?是的,免费!
一楼是各种化石,大象恐龙,各种动物;二楼是各种珠宝,甚至还有泰坦尼克电影里的Hope大蓝钻,各种开眼界。最关键是门票还免费,我去了两次,是去过最好的地质类型博物馆。
No trip to DC is complete without a trip to the Natural History Museum! My favorite exhibits are evolution where I found out my DNA is 60% similar to s banana, and the Hope Diamond! They have a great gift shop in the lower level.
