Museum of Natural History

 On our last day in Albuquerque, we decided to walk over to the Museum of Natural History.

The museum is laid out as a walk through geological time from the big band to the present.  Since New Mexico is such a treasure trove of archaeological discoveries, the possibilities here are endless.

We loved walking through a volcano from its birthplace far beneath the earth’s surface up to its eruption zone.  There were multitudes of displays ending with a beautiful collection of sea shells.  We don’t have these on Ocracoke!
