The Museum of Jurassic Technology

The Museum of Jurassic Technology
                The Museum of Jurrasic Technology was pretty cool. It had a bunch of interesting things to look at and watch. I didn’t get any pictures of the things because I forgot my camera. I had pulled over in a neighborhood and when I looked in my rear view mirror, there was a police woman so I got out and my friends and I started to leave so she wouldn’t think we were doing anything.  We walked to the museum from there and my friend had remembered that he didn’t lock his door, so we had to walk back.  We walked to the car and then back to the museum and I then remembered that I forgot my camera! I was mad, but I wasn’t going to walk back to the car again so I tried to take pictures with my phone and my friend’s phone. It didn’t work out.
                One of the things that was interesting to me was this display of three green flowers but the middle one had a huge spike in the middle. I don’t know why, but I found myself just standing and looking at it. I was thinking that how can something so beautiful be so dangerous and destructive. The flowers were engraved with designs that made it look like a crazy flower.
                Another thing I found cool was a display thalking about a guy whos name started with a “K”, I think it was like Kiercher or something, but he was mesmerized by space, magnetism, and asteroids. He made this display with clouds and a meteorite that would glow. It looked pretty crazy. Something else that was crazy was a display that was called, “In the Eye of a Needle”. It was funny because it had a couple figures in the eye of a needle like a soldier and then there was Goofy! Yes Goofy from Disney. It was because the guy who made it was a musician who got to know Walt Disney and did some work for him.
                Another thing that was pretty cool was the microscopes. Under the microscopes were these very little things, but when looked under a microscope, the things turned into a full picture such as a bouquet of flowers or a basket of flowers. I just found it amazing that someone could put a piece of work together that was that small. I also enjoyed the crystal balls that were glowing in the darkness of one room. There were little plastic men inside of them and the balls looked like little planets to me. What I got from it was that each person is surrounded by themselves and the world and needs to expand his knowledge to be free.
                I enjoyed the trip over to the Museum of Jurassic Technology. I went with two of my friends and they said that they liked it as well. They found it interesting and fun. We all had a good time, except when the cop cam, but it was all good. I would recommend going to the Museum because it was pretty cool.
