Denver museum of natural history

Last Friday we visited the Denver museum of natural history. One of the best museums I had seen. Life like stuffed animals were simply superb.

We also saw the "Body worlds (http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html)" exhibition of plastination (here is a picture from google search http://media.publicbroadcasting.net/wbfo/newsroom/images/3171326.jpg). But we were not allowed to take photos :-(

Stuffed animals and birds in their habitat (The displays were behind huge glass and amazingly life like)

Despite living in this area for almost 20 years, I still haven't been to this museum. It looks excellent, I'll have to go before long.
