Darwin and Dinosaurs exhibit at MOSH Museum
The visit to MOSH on Saturday was my first time going to the museum. I was surprised by the size of the building and how many exhibits and artifacts they were able to show inside. The Darwin and Dinosaurs exhibit was really cool. It was neat to see and read about Darwin and other scientists of the time while being by displays of massive dinosaurs. I learned many new things about Darwin 's life and the evolution of organisms at the exhibit, and had a fun time going through the exhibit.
Darwin had two mentors that shaped he into the man he is remembered as. The first was Robert Edmond Grant. Mr. Grant mentored Darwin at Edinburgh University. I was delighted to read this since I spent a week in Edinburgh this summer and toured their art building. The second was John Stevens Henslow. Darwin and Henslow were very close when Darwin studied at Cambridge University. Darwin was dubbed, “the man who walks with Henslow” because the two were often seen walked around together. Henslow was offered the job of naturalist on the HMS Beagle but declined. He proceed to recommend Darwin for the job. It’s unbelievable that Darwin was recommended by a great friend and mentor for the voyage that changed his life.

The exhibit is definitely something that science students would enjoy. Non-science students may enjoy the exhibit as well, especially since some parts are hands on. There were several touch screens with displays of numerous articles and artworks. The interactive moth game was great for everyone too. The MOSH also has many other cool exhibits to see. One of the neat ones is the Florida Naturalist Center. It was many tanks with reptiles such as turtles, tortoises, and terrapins. There is also I touch tank with a red mangrove, sergeant majors, and sea urchins. I am very glad I participated in the recent trip to MOSH and will definitely recommend MOSH to
