Carnegie Museum of Natural History

We used our "My Museums" pass today to go to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History on forbes avenue near CMU. It sits on the site of the Art Musuem but we focused on the History Museum. There are a lot of dinosaur skeletons there right now making it a good place for kids, but we enjoyed it too. There were 3 main floors and what looked like a downstairs area for kids to interact with science. The museum had large display of rocks, minerals, gems and jewelery. It also had a large dinosaur exhibit along with animal / botanical exhibits from North America, Africa, Asia, etc. There were also rooms devoted to birds and butterflys, artic explorations, Native Americans, and Egypt (fun to see since we were in Egypt a few months ago). The museum is very nice, we had a good time and will probably revisit later in the year with our museums pass.
