The Butterfly Rainforest was my favorite exhibit in the entire museum. One of my favorite things about the design of the Butterfly Rainforest was how interactive it was. We were able to witness butterflies and birds in their natural habitat. It was breathtaking to see all the different types of butterflies in the exhibit and to see how friendly they were towards humans. Seeing all the plants and animals living in harmony reminded me of how important it is to protect the environment. If we continue to pollute and exploit the environment it is very likely that butterflies and other species will soon become extinct. ] The Butterfly Rainforest was enjoyable for many reasons but the main one was that the butterflies would land on you. You were able to see how truly magnificent and delicate these creatures are.

The Natural History Museum allowed me to feel part of the "biotic community" rather than "conquers of the land" in the exhibit Frogs! A chorus of colors. This exhibit showcased live frogs and showed how vital they are to the ecosystem. The exhibit also talked about the dangers that frogs face in the environment due to all the pollution and development that humans have created. It was really sad to see that many of these creatures could be extinct in the future. This exhibit really raised awareness at how our action are affecting defenseless animals in nature. Adults and kids alike had the same horrified reaction at how our actions as humans have caused many species of frogs and toads to become endangered. After touring the exhibit, I can honestly say that the museum was able to instill an ethical responsibility in all that entered the exhibit.
