We are learning the names of animals in my Spanish class, so my teacher decided to take me to the natural history museum. So far I have been disappointed by the museums in Cusco (its a small city and museums reflect that), but still managed to scrape up some excitement for the class trip. Like when you are a child, any chance not to be in class not learning more verb forms will make you happy no matter the excuse. The inner child still lives in all of us. Unless you are one of those go hard nerds, and we don´t like them anyways.
So, we go to the Museum of Natural History which literally can fit into the reception area of the Museum of Natural History in NYC and is located in a section of the Law School here in Cusco. Now, its no where as good as the museum in NYC but did have its hightlights. The dead stuffed amimals (taxidermy) were quite ugly to the point of distraction. It looked like it was going to attack you. I don´t know what the person who was making it was going thru- the animal didn´t do nothing to them. Then they had the remains of baby animals perserved in jars with some kind of mummy liquid which included a lamb with 8 legs and a deer with two heads. No, I am not lying. See photos.
Later on I was told that I am spoiled becuase I am used to going to grand museums. Well, my response is that if their is one thing to be boogie about it should be museums.
