The taxidermy, scenery and landscape paintings are incredible. As is the rest of the museum, which until this last Sunday I hadn’t been to since I was a kid. The place makes you feel very small and temporary, in a good way I think. I saw wolves hunting, moose fighting, a rabbit hiding, the bison walking on the Great Planes, became sad they were gone, and thought about Holden Caulfield.

Make you remember how beautifully complex, abundant and mysterious the natural world is and how we're just a small part of it. It's like Wikipedia-surfing irl
I visited my local one yesterday, strolled around the permanent exhibition, looked at the current photography show and bought a couple of owl postcards on my way out.
It's probably my favorite local museum because of how old-fashioned it is - no screens, just printed text, quiet atmosphere, very beautiful old building. It was so relaxing and soothing for my head
