Washington's Capitol Hill, surrounded by its National Mall, has many famous museums. As a science and engineering man, a natural history lover, the National Museum of Natural History is inevitably not to be missed. The Museum of Natural History is part of the Smithsonian Collection, and the biggest feature of the museum is free admission. The first thing that enters the Natural History Museum is the huge African elephant below the central dome. The nostrils are in the sky and the power is fierce. The African elephant specimen is 14 feet tall and weighs 12 tons. One of the most important specimens in the museum. The Aquarium has a lot of scientific knowledge and marine biological specimens that describe the past, present and future of the ocean. What you will never miss is the huge right whale model hanging in the exhibition hall, which is 45 feet long and is said to be A replica of a model of a right whale named Phoenix. In addition, the Gem Pavilion, the Bone Pavilion, the African Animal Zone, the Egyptian Zone, etc., all have exquisite collections on display.
