This is a large natural history museum I built with exhibits pertaining to a wide variety of themes, especially various adventurers sub-themes. It contains a highly detailed interior. The master directory is here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2790 The exterior shots can be found here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2791 The architecture is a wierd combination of Paradisa, Bellville, and downright strange. I was influenced by both Baroque and Gothic architecture. The interior shots can be found here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2792&action=upload This shot shows a view of the main tower: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=27638 Upon entering, the visitor enters the Dinasaur exhibit. Here, various dinausaur models can be viewed. Note the air conditioning inlets above the door. Also, note the intricate arch work on the ceilling: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=27643 In the east wing, also on the ground floor, the visitor enters the arctic exhibit. Here, one can view examples of Polar wildlife as well as see how the arctic is explored with special vehicles: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=27641 The west wing sports the minerals and gems exhibit. This exhibit even includes rocks from outer space: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=27644 On the second floor, the visitor can get a first hand look at life under the sea. The museum supports a well stocked aquarium with several tanks, including one large one in the center of the exhibit that stretches clear to the ceiling: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=27640 The third floor features the art and architecture of ancient Egypt: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=27639 At the top of the building is the Paradisa Cafe where visitors can rest up after a hard day of investigating the museum: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=27642 LMKWYT
