Definitely
worth
the
trip!
For
one
thing,
it's
free.
For
another,
after
exploring
history
and
science
museums
in
9
or
10
states
now
this
is
my
favorite,
tied
with
the
Natural
History
Museum
also
there
in
Albuquerque.
Both
of
them
have
their
own
pros
and
cons
but
this
one
is
a
smaller
and
thus
easier
to
get
through
and
it's
free.
My
least
favorite
part
is
rather
particular
to
me.
I
don't
like
being
told
I
can't
take
pictures
and
there's
a
place
upstairs
where
you're
asked
not
to
without
explanation.
If
there's
something
I
can't
do
that
I
can
do
elsewhere
I
like
to
at
least
we
told
why.
Did
the
bits
are
carefully
and
thoughtfully
laid
out
with
a
clear
history
unfolding.
You
see
how
the
ancient
homes
in
the
Southwest
evolved,
how
pottery
and
ropes
evolved.
You
see
how
camps
were
laid
out.
That
one
helped
my
imagination
the
most.
It
wasn't
at
all
what
I
expected.
You
see
a
replica
of
an
actual
dig
site!
That
was
exciting
too.
There's
also
a
huge
exhibit
of
all
sorts
of
baskets.
I
wish
I'd
had
more
time
to
study
them.
The
ingenuity
of
basket
weaving
amazes
me.
To
think
all
you're
doing
is
taking
some
basic
fibers
and
wrapping
or
folding
them
around
each
other
and
somehow
creating
a
three-dimensional
object.
It's
like
origami
on
a
whole
other
level.
Origami
done
with
what's
left
after
the
paper
shredder.
Incredible!
But
Lucy
stole
the
show.
Lucy
has
been
my
favorite
hominid
since
I
was
young.
She's
a
famous
specimen
of
the
Australopithecus
afarensis
species.
I
could
write
pages
about
that
encounter
alone
and
there
was
much
more
than
her
in
that
exhibit
but
for
now
I'll
just
say
--
go.
See
it
for
yourself!
It's
free
so
you
have
nothing
to
lose
and
your
chances
of
it
being
a
great
experience
are
very,
very,
high.
