If you love science and nature and enjoy discovering the fascinating world that surrounds you, perhaps you should take a visit to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The academy was founded in 1812 and is the oldest natural sciences institution in the Western Hemisphere.
The Academy only opened its doors to the public in 1828, revealing the mysteries of nature to those who wished to know more about the natural world. Since then the Academy has expanded and become more that simply labeled exhibitions in Latin and Greek. Today the Academy of Natural Sciences is proud to have many different types of exhibits, some permanent, some changing, and even online exhibits that everyone can take a look at no matter where they are located. In the beginning there were only dioramas in the museum but currently there is also a butterfly exhibit which you can stroll along and interact with the different types of butterflies at their different stages of life, and a live animal center which holds animals that were injured or born in captivity and would not be able to survive on their own. If you would like to know more about the many interesting things to see at the Academy of Natural Sciences, you can visit the website and get all the info.
