点评:The museum is located at the National Mall. Unlike the other museums, this one has free entry which doesn't need booking for a time slot. After climbing up the large staircase in front. you go through a security check to get inside. You can purchase a museum map for $1 at the information center.
There are three levels of displays which are all labelled clearly. I really enjoyed the Fossil Hall. As the name implies it houses all the dinosaur related items including the bones. There is also an active fossil lab where you see the paleontologists at work. The displays all lead into the others so you can wander around the museum and see everything. Each area has a theme and it was nice going through them. The Hope Diamond is also located in the geology area with the other minerals. The ocean and animal displays were also nice. They also have a butterfly garden which looked to require tickets but it was closed when I came.
There are a couple of souvenir stores inside and the one on the lower floor (I took the escalator in the Ocean exhibit), which has the Constitution Ave entrance, was bigger but split into two stores. There is also a cafeteria here and another on the floor above it.
I really enjoyed walking around and exploring the exhibits. There is plenty to see and probably something to interest for everyone.
翻译:博物馆位于国家广场。与其他博物馆不同,这个博物馆免费入场,不需要预约时间段。爬上前面的大楼梯后,您需要通过安全检查才能进入博物馆。您可以在信息中心以 1 美元的价格购买博物馆地图。
展览分为三层,都标示清晰。我非常喜欢化石馆。顾名思义,它收藏了所有与恐龙相关的物品,包括骨骼。还有一个活跃的化石实验室,您可以在那里看到古生物学家在工作。所有展览都通向其他展览,因此您可以在博物馆里闲逛并看到一切。每个区域都有一个主题,穿过它们感觉很棒。希望钻石也位于地质区,与其他矿物一起。海洋和动物展览也很不错。他们还有一个蝴蝶园,看起来需要门票,但我来的时候它已经关闭了。里面有几家纪念品商店,楼下的那家(我在海洋展览中乘坐自动扶梯)有宪法大道入口,面积更大,但分成两家商店。这里还有一家自助餐厅,楼上还有一家。
我真的很喜欢四处走走,探索展览。这里有很多东西可看,可能每个人都会感兴趣。
