When I was in school I loved going on class field trips. Most of the time our field trips were educational trips to the museums. I guess like most kids, I found them boring sometimes. But as I got older, I began to appreciate art and science more, I looked forward to museum trips. As an adult I enjoy national history and science museums just as much as art museums. I would stare at one mammal skull after another and imagine how they actually looked like.

I think it was the movie “Jurassic Park” that changed everything for me. The way they portrayed how modern man would survive against prehistoric dinosaurs was awesome. This is why I have not looked at a prehistoric or an extinct mammal skull the same way after the movie. Now that I have a son, I look forward to the day when I can bring him to museum as well. I’m going to make sure that he watches “Jurassic Park” first before going to the museum so he does not get bored
