The National Museum of Natural History is a natural history museum administered by the Smithsonian Institution, located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., United States. it is open 364 days a year and has free admission! The museum was founded in 1910, and its current director is Kirk Johnson.

The virtual tour has many different places to visit. You can tour permanent exhibits, current exhibits, past exhibits, the museum support center and research stations. I took a look at the Rotunda: South which showcased the African Bush Elephant.

Next, I visited David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins where I saw Lucy. Lucy is a 32 million year old early human skeleton found in Ethiopia.
