Become a science lover! Discover the tiny universe at Melbourne Museum - Insect specimen exhibition

🦋Encounter a Miniature Universe at Melbourne Museum - Insect Specimen Exhibition In the Natural History Gallery at Melbourne Museum, you'll find a spectacular display of insect specimens from around the world. Countless insects, including butterflies, beetles, grasshoppers, and dragonflies, are neatly arranged in cases, each vibrantly colored like a jewel. The specimens, shining in the light, are a work of art created by nature itself. The exhibit of Australian endemic species is a particular highlight. You'll be amazed by the power and beauty of beetles with their shimmering green wings, vibrant blue morpho butterflies, and uniquely shaped stick insects—things you won't find in an illustrated book. In addition to specimens, there are plenty of ways to learn about the role insects play in the ecosystem. Videos and models clearly explain the mechanisms that support natural cycles, such as pollination and decomposition. For children, there are plenty of interactive elements to enjoy, such as a lens that lets you experience the compound eyes of an insect and a sound exhibit that recreates the sound of insect wings. This exhibit allows visitors to see insects not only as "pests," but also as important symbols of Earth's diversity. By learning about researchers' collection records and the process of specimen preparation, visitors will be drawn into the depths of natural science. 📍Access Melbourne Museum is located in Carlton Gardens, accessible by tram or foot from central Melbourne. This insect section is particularly popular throughout the natural history exhibits, and is a recommended photo spot. 🦋 This is a must-see exhibit for anyone who wants to appreciate the wonders of these tiny creatures. ⸻ #WinterBreakAustralia #VacationTrip #DomesticTravelGuide #MyTravelPlan #SummerVacationTrip #SeasonalOverseasPlaces #OverseasTravelGuide #OverseasTravel #AbsolutelyFreeTravel #CommentCircle #SummerCampaign
