Where should good biology lessons be taken? Only in nature investigating alive creatures or in museums where we can see those ones who can't be observed alive.
My son is fond of animal world, and he spends a lot of hours reading encyclopedias about it. So visiting a museum of sea fauna was a nice addition to his knowledge.
It's a local museum of Kerch that is popular not only by its collections by also by a great number of scientists who work there. Kerch is a city if 2 seas, and sea scientists always have a lot of work here. They study both sea creatures, sea plants and all other water organisms, and how human can use them. One of their most popular investigations is creation of cosmetic brand that is based on sea world power.
But my boy was more interested in sea fauna, of course:)
There is a big hall with all possible fish and sea creatures not only from the local seas but from the oceans as well.
We tried to make many photos, but the exhibition was so huge that one moment I stopped doing it and just enjoyed the processand my son's WOW effect:)
The most amazing thing is that ALL creatures here are REAL. There are no "dolls" who were artificially made to for the exhibition, they all really lived in real oceans.
