Cleveland Museum of Natural History
1 Wade Oval Drive University Circle
Cleveland, OH, 44106
Created for adults and children alike, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History features a lot of OLD things. Home to a Tyrannosaurus rex and a cast of what is believed to be the oldest remains of a woman, or rather, the ancient hominid Australopithecus afarensis, Lucy, the museum is thriving with exciting collections. Anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, botany, geology, paleontology, wildlife biology, and zoology exhibits can all be found here, and are worth a visit if you want to leave your wonderful Cleveland apartment for an afternoon. Over four million specimens are available for viewing, so plan to spend a day or at least a long morning or afternoon. Lucy was discovered by the curator of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in 1973 in Hadar, Ethiopia and was brought for display at the museum for nine years. The skeleton is over three million years old, and it was an exciting moment in history to find this ancient hominid. You can find out more about it at the museum. In case you're wondering where the paleontologists got the name, the Beatles song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was being played repeatedly at the camp, thus the name was dubbed. The museum has a modern look but was originally created in 1920. Before the museum was founded, two rooms stuffed with all sorts of animal varieties and called "the ark" had a founding group to establish the museum. Considered one of the finest institutions of its kind in North America, the museum mission emphasizes scientific research, conservation and education. All sorts of displays are available to delight scientific types, inquiring minds and children. A full-scale model of an ancient stegosaurus is featured on the lawn and delights kids of all ages. Among the collection are an amazing nine hundred monkey and ape skeletons, more than 3,100 human skeletons and lots of dinosaurs. These include the only specimen of the small tyrannosaur Nanotyrannus lancensis; a holotype of the Haplocanthosaurus sauropod; and replica skeletons of Triceratops and Jane, a juvenile tyrannosaurid (don't know where she got her name). Also here are the remains of Balto the sled dog; extensive examples of Late Devonian Cleveland Shale fish; an extensive mineralogy collection that includes a moon rock and the Jeptha Wade gem collection; and multipe mastodon and mammoth specimens. These are all things you won't be likely to see in or near your Cleveland apartment complex. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, is open Wednesday evenings until 10 pm, and is open on Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. Adult prices for tickets are just $9, and youths aged 7-18 are $7, ages 3-6 are $6, and kids two and under are free. On Wednesdays after 5 pm, it's only $5 for adults, and Tuesdays and Thursdays the museum admits kids 12 and under get in free. Cleveland apartment-ites can explore a planetarium, observatory, discovery center, live animal shows and a wildlife center and woods garden highlighting native Ohio flora and fauna, including bobcats, river otters and birds of prey on the campus. Offered frequently by the museum are traveling exhibitions, lecture series and public programs. Some of the amenities include the Museum Store, Blue Blanet Café, outdoor picnic tables and on-site parking.
