Museum of Natural History and Science, 11:34am, Oct 30th 2004
Dr. Michael Thomas smiles down at Garfield and says "Oh course there are a number of pictures of the T-baby as we call him here, they are right there at the base if you wanted to look at it quickly. We can spend a couple of minutes looking that over before we get started with the tour."
He then leads them to the large T-Rex skeleton. There is a computer interaction touch-screen monitor that talks about the 'History and Life of Dinosaurs' along with a number of large pictures and muscles, etc. that talk most of the king of the dinosaurs.
A few people have started to glances at the group with a bit of surprise… mostly at Cyborg's half cyber-face, Cat's Eyes tail and rather large ears, Beast Boy's, Red Tornado's and Argent's skin color. Nothing like panic, just a bit of curiosity and maybe a little awe and wonder…
Dr. Thomas then leads the group into the Native American and early Settlers wing of the Museum, which is up one flight of stairs, and looks to take up about half this floor! Dr. Thomas seems very excited talking about the Native American art and artifacts that they have in the collect. A side wing is about the early non-native settlers who first came to the Central City valley, the first being Spanish looking for fabled lost cities of gold and eternal youth.
There are models of people, in various traditional garb with tools and in different setting. There are displays of artifacts and tools and clothing that was worn at different times in the past. And yes there are many models (or stuffed) of animals that were native to this area for the last 10 to 20,000 years ago… Wolves, Bison, Bear, Giant Plains Sloth, Elk and Deer, a huge number of birds and fish from the local streams.
