We visited the Natural History museum in D.C.  we were impressed with the Gem and Mineral collection and with the Dinosaur exhibit, but frankly were disappointed that there was just one mummy and it wasn’t very impressive in the “Egypt” exhibit.  Oh well.

As I said, we were impressed with the Gem and Mineral exhibit.  They had a huge collection of gems and minerals and some items were quite large and beautiful.  And, they have the Hope Diamond on display.  Wow!

Here are some pictures:
