History Museum, Edinburgh

Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city life is Edinburgh's History Museum. This building had an amazing atmosphere as it was playing host to a free fringe event; and the acoustics were fantastic in the main reception hall. The animal room was amazing; with skeletons hanging from the ceiling and a complete model shark floated above us as if caught in its own Sharknado! We also got up close and personal with meteorites in the space room; where metals from another world have been captured and cased for all to see; alongside a giant model of our DNA. We also saw a Chinese prayer wheel; a full scale 18th century locomotive, and a huge furnace (which sadly wasn’t in action today, though I had seen it before). There were many other floors of the museum that we didn’t get a chance to visit; you really need a full morning in order to view everything.
