Museum Visit (by A)
The Museum of Biological Diversity at OSU is quite interesting, with many exhibits that fascinate the mind and eyes. Although the whole thing wasn't open to the public, it still had many different rooms and displays to see. Also, hanging on the walls were several posters shaped like various animals. Each poster had a strange fact about whatever animal the board was shaped like.
Some rooms had jars and jars of preserved animals, and animal body parts (top picture). They were a bit creepy, to say the least. One or two rooms were devoted to stuffed birds and other dead, stuffed animals.
At least two rooms had live animals and insects to touch. Snakes, walking sticks (above), centipedes, and salamanders, etc.
Another room had fossils to touch. Really old fossils. I'm not certain exactly how old they were, but an employee claimed that they were several million years old. They even had part of a meteorite!
All in all, the museum was very intriguing.
