When you think of natural history museums, you might picture exhibits filled with ancient lifeless things, like dinosaurs or meteorites. But behind that educational exterior, there are hidden laboratories where scientific breakthroughs are made. Joshua Drew gives a breakdown of some of the hidden worlds within these museums.

Imagine what was going on downstairs in Night at The Museum

@user-yu5wz8tp2t 8 лет назад

So they legit have secret laboratories deep underneath museums?

@heybuddyyouincapetown 7 лет назад

They're not secret, but not just anyone can walk around and poke stuff down there

the second he said that the museum had been collecting the birds eggs my little brother said "well there's your fucking problem, quit taking there eggs"

@Ghost00117 9 лет назад

Did you correct his usage of "there" to "their"?

@Rstars11 9 лет назад

THAT'S funny cause my 6 year-old brain, trapped in a 50 y/o body, said the same thing!

Hm, another career path I could follow, working in a natural history museum, never thought about that, definitely adding that to my possible career goals.

I went to the museum pictured! It is the American Museum Of Natural History. (Even tho the Allosaurus and the Barosaurus should have switched places)

@Gopro50 9 лет назад

Thanks guys!

@sanuku535 4 года назад

My own goal is to either teah History, uncover it, care for it, or presente it in the musem, for the history is the greatest of teachers. For it is life itself.

Talks about Walden, mentions Thoreau. Talks about DDT, and no mention of Rachel Carson. :/

If NY wasn't a nightmare to visit like it was last time I went, I'd visit the museum. Granted it would be way cooler if it came alive like in the movies lol.

@alanl9497 9 лет назад

Why was ny a nightmare? I had a blast there!

@ThatShyGuyMatt 9 лет назад

Just over hectic, couldn't get anywhere easy, rude people.

@EdwinLuciano 9 лет назад

SonOfAKing I live in NYC and share your opinion. But I think that coming just for the Museum of Natural History is worth the hassle. It's truly an awesome place. I go once a year.

@19lionkingfan 9 лет назад

Edwin Luciano Why do you like it so much?

@EdwinLuciano 9 лет назад

19lionkingfan It has just about *everything* that a person curious about the world around them wants to see. If you are just interested in jewelry, for example, they have a collection so awesome that it's worth the price of admission. Well, the jewels are worth much more than the price of admission but you know what I mean.

@StarBoundFables Год назад

That's super cool!

@MsSBVideos 8 лет назад

This is great and all, but how do you see the collections if they are secret?

@CapuccinoMachine 7 лет назад

only scientists can.

I wonder if, eight years or so later, they actually managed to get a few steps closer to that goal...
