My best friend and I decided on a whim to visit the Canadian Museum of Nature on the 18th of November. The Museum is currently in the last leg of a huge building wide renovation and has opened one wing on each floor for visitors during the renovation.
We only had an hour to burn and what we were able to see in that one hour definitely left us wanting more. The elevator was down for the day so admission was a donation amount of your choice.
There was a security guard following us around so I was really only able to snap the picture below.
The most awe inspiring room of the rooms we saw was the Talisman Energy Fossil Gallery. I got shivers when we first walked into this room.

If what we saw was any indication, the Canadian Museum of Nature will soon be at the forefront of the top national museums in North America.
The Grand Reopening is scheduled for May 22, 2010.
