Of the many exhibits at the natural history museum in London, the fossil exhibit was the most spectacular in that it contained a wide variety of fossils I had never seen before, and it was local to the area that I was visiting in. Many exhibits in the museum had broad historical information about igneous rocks, minerals, birds, and plants, but the fossil exhibit painted a picture of what life was like millions of years ago where I visiting. To synthesize this information when walking around town seeing historic buildings from 700+ years ago puts the amazing history of the world in perspective. I also discovered a giant ground sloth bigger than the biggest grizzly bear in this museum, along with a relative of a present day dolphin.

The main attraction in this museum was the gigantic Blue Whale skeleton hanging from the amazingly beautiful natural history museum.
