The Houston Museum of Natural Science

If you haven’t been to The Houston Museum of Natural Science lately, then it’s worth checking out again. While this museum has fascinating exhibits in its permanent collection, the facility’s continuous ability to attract the best of travelling national and international collections is unparalleled. There I’ve seen awesome and priceless jewels, rare personal effects of Benjamin Franklin, and even the body of the controversial pre-human Lucy. Check out its latest offerings at www.hmns.org.
