Visit to Naturhistoriska riksmuseet





Today we were given an opportunity to visit the famous Swedish Museum of Natural History.However it was just the four of us students Divya, Vibha, Anjali and myself along with our three teachers who decided to grab this opportunity and make the best of it. Here at the museum there are exhibitions to visit, lectures to attend, guided tours, short 3D films and so on. Firstly at this museum we were lucky enough to get a chance to enjoy a stunning and immersive adventure at Swedens only IMAX theatre - Cosmonova. Here films are shown on the worlds largest format on the 760 square meter dome shaped screen. The 3D movie seeen by us was Antarctica. We got to explore the highest, driest, windiest, coldest, continent on Earth, Embark on a harrowing helicopter ride through icy crevasses and towering pinnacles; dive with the first humans to swim through a crystalline cavem submerged within a glacier, drill through centuries and join a company of penguins in a graceful underwater ballet.It truly was an amazing film that lasted for around 45 mins.




After the film we went ahead to experience some of the nine permanent exhibitions about nature and man's surroundings. Some of the exhibitions included Life in water, Diversity of life, 4.5 billion years, Swedish nature, Treasures from the earths interior, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed it and i am sure we all learnt a lot from it. Im pretty sure all those who werent present for this part of it really missed a lot.Tomorrow's going to be our last day here in Sweden, wish we dint have to go back! We thoroughly enjoying our stay over here. Tomorrow we have dinner with all our Swedish friend at hotel Indira. Will brief ull about that later. Till then see ull guys .
