The first cold and rainy Saturday my friend Sierra and I decided to visit the museum. This modern building (constructed in 1998) stands out as a marker of the present on the corner of Chambers Street and George the IV Bridge. Inside it's absolutely huge, you begin in the left wing and tour each floor to the opposite wing as you make your way up to the terrace on the 7th floor. We spent about three hours at this museum because the setup and architecture continued to get better as we explored with our tour guide, James (he was taking a break when he saw two tourists in need). My favorite exhibit about the industrial revolution and transportation took up an entire floor. Another highlight was the royal jewelery collection and the clone of Dolly the Sheep.
