It was AWESOME! Sophia loved the exhibits, and there were so many varied displays - we saw insects and animals, time and space, ancient Egypt and dinosaurs! I'd thoroughly recommend it - especially because it was free!
The museum was a literal treasure trove for completing challenges and I managed to finish another 5 - bringing my total to 9 in one day!
Challenge 14 "Picture of an Insect"

Although they have been collected for display - I still think these butterflies are beautiful and this is probably better than me taking a picture of a woodlouse in the garden!
Challenge 29 "Find the Oldest Thing"
I think I'd struggle to find anything older than ancient Egypt! - There were so many fascinating items on display but as I've always loved the Egyptian gods since visiting as a child, these amulets of Horus from 332BC are ideal
Challenge 48 "Find a Dinosaur"
Thanks to the awesome display taking up a full floor of the museum I was spoilt for choice with this one. I loved the skeletons rather than the recreations though as they felt more "dinosaury" lol
Challenge 67 "Best Dog/Cat Pic"
Although this is quite a weird one, I just found this mummified cat fascinating.
Challenge 94 "Find the Shiniest Rock / Fossil"
This is a massive ammonite fossil - and I thought it was great as Beth often spoke about collecting these. I even bought my own little fossil from the gift shop as a memento
