Greychannelz's video: IS IT WORTH IT TO VISIT NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

The building was constructed as the Agriculture and Commerce Building in 1940. It was designed in a neoclassical style by Filipino Architect Antonio Toledo in the late 1930s, having the same dimensions and floor plan as its twin building located at the northern side of the circle, the Finance Building. Both buildings were destroyed in the Battle of Manila during World War II. Both buildings were reconstructed according to the original plans after the war. The National Museum operates the National Museum of Fine Arts, National Museum of Anthropology, National Museum of Natural History, and National Planetarium, all located in the National Museum Complex in Manila. The institution also operates branch museums throughout the country. Tree of Life. A commanding architectural structure composed of two parts — the dome and the DNA-like structure. The dome serves as the atrium’s ceiling, while the DNA-like structure links the dome to the atrium’s ground, resembling a tree trunk. The elevator itself is an attraction, offering a great view of the museum’s foyer/atrium. Second Floor: Lolong. The skeleton of the Philippine’s largest crocodile (in captivity) ever recorded hangs from the ceiling of the reception hall on the second floor. Gallery VI: Rainforest Diorama. Walk through the mini replica of a rainforest and learn about the different kinds of species inhabiting the land. This is located on the fourth floor. Gallery IX: Mangrove Diorama. Like the rainforest diorama, you can also walk through a few meter square of mangrove diorama located on the third floor. See also the different creatures that thrive in them. Gallery X: The Marine Realm. Also found on the third floor, the marine realm gallery gives you an idea on how “The Abyss” looks like, allows you to experience a snippet of boarding a submarine, and enables you to marvel at the life-size replicas of a whale shark and manta ray.
