On Wednesday we will visit the Melbourne Museum.  The museum features a variety of exhibits including:

• The Science and Life Gallery which features dinosaur skeletons
• 600 million years of Victoria which includes prehistoric animals such as Tiktaalik
• The Melbourne Gallery which includes an exhibit on Australia’s famous race horse Phar Lap
• The Mind and Body Gallery
• The Evolution Gallery
• The Forest Gallery which features a living temperate Victorian forest environment complete with live birds and reptiles

The Melbourne Museum offers several exhibits I want the opportunity to visit.  I find dinosaurs fascinating yet I haven’t had the opportunity to see a full skeleton up close in real life so I defiantly want to make that a first in Australia.  Further I am excited to further my knowledge about Australian history, legend as well as the evolution of Australia’s unique species.  Overall I think the museum will offer me the chance to further my knowledge about Australia as well as see some unique exhibits up close.
