God damn!

by dr.firas

Yes a section where madame Tussaud herself was known as a famous figure to inspire the museum and had the name of it!she was gathering the cut head of the French revolution and making masks of it, *Eeeekkkk what a job huh!*and she brought all those masks to London, and there the idea of this museum appeared!

Embriology section

by dr.firas

Fantastic and facsinating section in the Biology section of the museum is presenting a giant baby, and you can hear his heart beats, it is wonderful thing, and he is sucking his finger in the belly of his mother, so it is another world inside a world which is inside another one too, yeah yeah I'm back to my bla bla again, sorry!

Hitler is the most unliked doll in this museum, I won't tell you about how many pictures I saw of people next to him eising the middle finger all the time next to his face!but I do understand why they do so! LOL

Moving monsters

by dr.firas

Now this was a new thing suggested by the principle administration of the Natural History museum to emitate the moving and screaming creatures that lived Millions years ago, and it is really impressive!

Jurasic

by dr.firas

Jurasic section is full of the wonderful monstors I adored in my childhood, it was actually a delay for a dream that became true, it was almost the same with the lovely movie Jurasic Park, but this time in the museum!

Tip Photo
Evidence

by dr.firas

The evidences are given in a logical materialistic way, all you need is to compare between the bones of the ancient people, and today's and the apes, and you'll see the fantastic missed circle founded in front of your nacked eyes!

Anthropology section

by dr.firas

I adore it, many people don't believe in the great and one of the most important theories of our times: The Evolution Theory by C.Darwin!in this section you will have all the proves to put an end to your doubts and sceptisim!

Natural History Museum
