Melbourne Museum

We visited the Melbourne Museum today and it was fantastic!  The museum uses technology and extensive exhibits to provide an awesome experience.  For example they have animals from all over the world (less than half are in my picture it was so big).  Computers show a layout of the room, then you touch the one you are interested in and it displays a brief bio. 

There were also thousands of bugs (dead and alive) displayed in Bugs Alive, plus full size dinosaur and whale skeletons.  There were galleries on modern Melbourne, the Aboriginals, a children's play gallery, life and science, a living forest, and more.  Many of the exhibits are interactive.  The boys even got to make a model Titanic to bring home with them.  It was by far the best place we've been to yet and a must-see for anybody going to Melbourne.  And it's only $8 per adult (children are free).  I wish we had something this great at home!
