Tokyo - National Museum of Nature and Science @ Ueno

Tokyo - Back at Ueno to visit this National Museum of Nature and Science which we missed out on our last visit.   For high school children it was free entry to this museum.

Entrance
Upon entry we went to the THEATER 360, which is an amazing display with a 360 degree field of south and vision.   2 movies of 5 minutes each displaying The Last Dinosaurs and The Universe: A Journey of 13.7 Billion Years.

This museum was huge and had a Global Gallery which exhibits the History of Life on Earth, the evolution of the Earth and its inhabitants, along with a history of the development of intelligent thought in humans.

The Japanese Gallery displays exhibits on the environment on the Japanese islands, the evolution of the its organisms and the process by which the modern Japanese population was formed.

We spent the whole morning here as there were many interesting exhibits of stuffed animals, insects and dinosaurs to be seen.
