Natural History Museum & Art...

A few weeks back we took a little trip to The Natural History Museum to go see art by local L.A artist Amanda Visell.

It was exceptionally neat to see contemporary art in such an interesting setting.

After we took a look at the art, we were able to visit some of the halls featuring North American mammals, a ginormous set of whale bones & other neat things related to natural historical things.

This is what you see when you walk into the museum!

"Lion Snuggle" by Amanda Visell...

Another artwork by Amanda...

"Sea lion!" (Feist)

"Africa Unite..."

"Buffalo Bill won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight..."

Us & the whale bones from a very giant whale...

The backside of the giant whale...

This band was there to accompany the art show & were extremely talented, take a listen...

This was not created by Amanda, but was actually a part of the museum's collection. The man on the right reminded me of Mitch...

There was a children learning section in the museum, & there were sheets of paper with reasons of what/how nature has influenced you. Here is what some people had to say...

This last one was written by Mitch & is so true it brought a smile to my face.
