Walking Back to the Metro




A large memorial to Ho Chi Minh, with fresh flowers.  It seems that the information we learn about Ho Chi Minh is not learned everywhere. . .

Commemorating some sort of oil partnership with Vietnam.

The Biological Diversity Exhibit on the Ground Floor













included some beautiful mounts and some models of some extinct animals.  This was as far as we made it before the museum closed.  It was well worth the trip and we may have to come back and see the rest of the museum someday.  

Photography Exhibit

There was an incredible photo exhibit that was probably entitled animals at sport or something like that, it was a tie in to the Olympics.  

Cave Paintings?







The art in this section reminded us of cave paintings, but we were unable to read about the artists.  We think most of the art was modern because it was displayed in the open, there were some glassed displays that related and were probably much older.

Some Native Russian Animals






The Indoor Aroretum













was full of windows, light and plants and a few unexpected surprises.

Another Temporary Exhibit





on the Olympics, the Paralympics and the Mascots.
