Visiting National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC

I had the opportunity to visit National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C on October 12, 2019.  It was actually part of my trip attending ASTM Workshop in Philadelphia.  I spent a whole day exploring several museums in D.C.  The National Museum of Natural History is a natural history museum administered by the Smithsonian Institution. I shared here some good photos of some specimens showing at this Museum.  Worth a visit if you had the opportunity to come here one day.
