Old Charm 6/15/2009

I took my son there for his birthday and was pleasantly surprised. They have a very large collection of butterflies, beatles and other little insects. It was really interesting. They also have an extensive array of gemstones and minerals including some space rocks. My son loved the dinosaur bones. Only thing that bothered me was how the animals were not preserved very well and you can see cracks and holes in a lot of the skins. What I loved most of all about this museum was the atmosphere. I felt like I was walking through an 19th century taxidermist mansion filled with "curiosities". It was a great experience. I wish we had more time, and I'm sure we'll be back again soon. Pros: Large Gem and Glass Flower Collection Cons: Taxidermy needs updating more
