I enjoyed all of what I saw in the museum. The evolution and Darwin, and DNA exhibits weren't anything new for me. The Bugs Alive exhibit was actually really awesome. Just the amazing collection had me captivated, and if there wasn't more to see I would have spent a lot longer there.
Phar Lap had me on the verge of tears. They had video footage from one of his races where he came from behind to get the lead, then powered on even more when another horse closed in on him made me all emotional. This s WEIRD people. Why do I cry so easy these days?
I was pretty excited to see him. Even as a mounted hide that is almost 80 years old he is still beautiful, and definitely earns the name "Big Red".
The Titanic exhibition was by far the most interesting experience of the day. It was really awesome to see the artefacts, to read about the ship and to see the recreations of parts of it. It's amazing how well some of the stuff has been preserved even after being at the bottom of the ocean for 70 odd years. I'd really recommend it.
Special thanks to Ben here for giving us a ride home. Even after the altercation with the crazy lady from the Pines.
All in all a very good day :)
