Trip to Washington DC/Natural History Museum/Ocean Exhibit

[TheTenthDoctor]

So I visited the capital of the USA, Washington DC. Many of us may have been there before, I visited the Natural History Museum among other things. I thought I'd share some of the pictures of the Ocean Exhibit!

I am missing the pictures of the Giant preserved squid, and a video of the clown fish as well as a bunch of other pictures from the exhibit, I will post them tomorrow. Btw, would anyone like any bonus pictures of the Mummies, the Hope diamond, or any of the artifacts at the museum! @PheonixKingZ @AJE

Please ignore the girl here, I did my best to get her out of the way but she refused too. Maybe I could photo shop her out

An awful lot of us never get to see things like this especially when you live in a little town. Savor the experience. That is just so so cool-a-rama.

It is home to some of the most amazing artifacts. The worlds largest perfect crystal ball, the Hope Diamond, three mummies from egypt. 2 adults, one baby, the don pedro aquamarine, The Post Emerald Necklace, The Marie Louise tiara, Marie Antonetts diamond necklace and earrings, a 15 food giant preserved squid, and mediorites. It has 14.5 million artifacts, and about 10 or more galleries. Its truly an amazing place

Do you think that the moderators would mind if I posted a picture of the mummies?

 

[FishFinatic77]

What beautiful jewelry! Do you know how much they're worth? Also, I say show the mummies!
