365 New Things-Day 9- Natural History Museum of Utah




Today was the free day for the Natural History Museum. I love when the attractions offer days like this. Especially when it's a brand new building. This museum is so amazing, the architects for the building made this unique place based off of the unique landscapes in Utah. The materials they used gave the apperance that the landscape was always changing. The displays were incredible and well done. I especially loved all the interactive tools they had for children and adults. For example, a wind tunnel to see how the wind effects the landscape, and an earthquake generator. On one display the floor was mapped out to be the Great Salt Lake half was blue and the other half was red. The different colors represented the different levels of salt. When you took a step the water looked like it moved.




We had a lot of fun there and I was glad that we went and saw this new museum.
