The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

Saturday, March 30, 2013

After staying up way too late Friday night to watch the Michigan State versus Duke game, we woke up late Saturday, then ventured out to visit the Museum of Natural Sciences.  The museum is dedicated to natural history, and its most important pieces are 30 fossilized Iguanodon skeletons, which were discovered in 1878 in Bernissart.  The museum was huge, and we enjoyed walking around to see all of the exhibits.  We saw whale skeletons, and tons of animal exhibits, but our favorite part was the dinosaur exhibit!

Enormous whale skeletons.

The museum was an awesome stop on our trip, and we are looking forward to celebrating Easter in Brussels.
