The Holocaust Museum

The Holocaust Museum visit is definitely one of my most enlightening experiences as a museum visitor. I really like the variety of exhibits that the museum offers. There are so many history and story to learn about. I secretly wish that I can live next to the museum so that I can see those meaningful exhibits every day! One thing I really like about the Holocaust Museum is the video clips throughout different exhibits. It was a very powerful movement when I saw a Holocaust survivor who spoke up in court to identify the Nazi murder. The lady said she lives for justice. Even though it is traumatic for the survivor to recall painful stories from the Holocaust, the lady always and will forever remember the haunted past so one day she will obtain justice. National Museum of Natural History is also an extraordinary site to visit. As soon as one walks into the building, a huge diversity of natural and scientific topics are there for visitors to explore. I really like the section about the ocean. The three-dimensional display of the earth and the vivid explanation of climate change really contribute to my learning experience. When we are exiting the museum, the rain starts to sprinkle. In blue rain ponchos, we look like The Smurfs walking out from TV screens. But I like the rain because it is so much more enjoyable to have ramen hearing the sound of raindrops!
