Coming to this museum is like stepping into a time machine which takes you back to an impossible universe filled with creatures big and small together under one roof!

Start from the very beginning and walk among the giants with the dinosaur skeletons and fossils unlike any creature that exists today. The word “mammals” will never be as exciting as when you walk into the museum hall where a gigantic African elephant dominates the room. If this isn’t already impressive enough, the museum also boasts the world’s largest blue whale, which seems to stretch into the distance beyond the limits of our imagination. At the other end of the spectrum are the tiny organisms which we must be careful not to overlook, like the dwarf penguin right down to the single-celled amoeba, which offer their own fascinating characteristics. Danger lurks in the museum as well, in the form of the worlds deadliest organism, the microscopic malaria parasite - eek! We can’t neglect our scaly friends, as the museum also contains countless snakes, lizards, fish and much much more. With over 10 million animals, it seems like there’s no end to the excitement once you pass through the museum doors!
