May Museum

I’ve been to May Museum about few years ago before become an active Unilocal so now I’m gonna to make the review.
I was so excited when my husband took me here. Because I can’t find a museum with animals such as wolves or dinosaurs like in LA or any other states. But at this museum they’ve all kinds animals & other stuff.
Thanks to Mr. Wilbur D. May personal collection during his lifetime of world travel & adventure so that now we can see & get to know about rare & exotic collection
I’ve always been an animal lover & I love to see about their description like their class names, life span /​longevity, geographic range, behavior, habitat etc. They’ve plenty of collection for animal displays like polar bear, stone sheep, aardvark, dik-​dik /​class of the smallest members of the antelope family, sitatunga /​one of east Africa amphibious, swamp dwelling antelope, and of course Bengal tiger. The display are cool too, they put them in their natural outdoor settings, made it like they are outside their habitat.
One outside display room, there’s a tall tree on the wall a cheetah holding down a deer, it’s cool display.
This museum wasn’t just about animals but about NV culture like hunting & conservation and they’ve some display from their hunts too.
And they’ve some stuff from other country too like weapons like swords or Chinese ceramics from China, or figures, sculptures /​masks & paintings from Africa, India, New Guinea, Australia, display of Venetian glass.
On the wall there are some display with description too like Netsuke (miniature sculptures were invented in Japan during 17^th century), Snuff Bottles that been used during the Qing Dynasty to contain powdered tobacco because it was illegal to smoking tobacco during the Dynasty.
And the other side they’ve a display for mammoth, dinosaur skeleton & some dinosaur cards telling about all the types of dinosaur like we had studied when we were in high school and even a display of Yeti /​abominable snowman.
There was a Giant Tree Eater display with the description & a glass display of butterflies too not for the ordinary ones for sure.
On the wall there’s some description about wolves too like Dire Wolves which been discovered the fossilized bone in Las Vegas Wash & they were very common all over north & South America.
There’s a display of Incensed Cedar, was born 1381 died 2000.
For kids & adults, we can enjoy to dig to find fossil bones like mammoth tooth, mammoth vertebra or even baby mammoth jaw. Pretty cool.
Then they’ve an island life side display all the sea creatures and I love the giant squid painting on the wall.
Outside the museum there’s a merchandise shop too of course.
It’s a very educative place to bring the kids, even as an adult you’ll enjoy this museum too like I did.
