Marvelous Milwaukee Museum

Milwaukee museum, a place where all the world cultures and traditions are respected. Milwaukee museum, a place where animals are treated with great loyalty. Milwaukee museum, a place where olden days are taken inspiration from. Well, my luck was good that my family and I went to this wonderful place. We went to the museum from my uncles house after a 1hr drive.  When we reached we first went to watch a wonderful movie called 'coral reefs' in the imax dome theater. I learnt alot from this movie. I learnt how people do scuba diving, how animals and plants rely on each other for survival. Yet, I was disappointed that these wonderful coral reefs are not well protected and are dying.Predections also say that all the coral reefs will be dead in the next 30 years. I will do my bit to protect these coral reefs which need our help. Later we went to the museum. The museum consisted of three floors, all which were wonderful. Yet, I could look at only two floors because of the museum's hours. On the first floor we first went to the 'old streets of milwaukee' where they replicated the olden streets of milwaukee. It was just like an ideal village. The candy stores where like todays antique stores where candy was stored in glass jars which were very pretty. The dentist office was also very strange inclusive of the tools the dentist used. After that we went to a butterfly garden where butterflies were left free and we could go to them. One of the butterflies even sat on brothers shoulder, he was pretty brave to do that,since many  people were running around crazily.Then I became a junior paleantologist(one who studies dinosaurs)and learnt alot about dinosaurs, we saw the fossils of a mammoth and tryceratops at the museum. What mostly fascinated me were the minerals like quartz as they shined brightly in the darkness. When it was almost time for the museum to get closed I insisted on going to the  India part of the museum to see what others' opinion on our country is. In the india section there were sculptures of Indian gods and godesses. There was also a replica of a royal bengal tiger, which made me feel very proud of all the wildlife in India.  But, I was mostly dissapointed because, they had a replica of an Indian street which was totally crowded,no control on the traffic, street sellers blocking the road, movie posters on the wall. Out of all the cultural heritage in India is this the impression foreigners have on us? Why can't we be obedient to rules? I felt ashamed that time. I'll try my best to make our country better and in this I seek your help. I want us to be ideal citizens of the world. India was rich, now Indians made it poor. Well, thats it for now.

Very true Bhavana! India is a gift. And we should keep it like that. But....the state of our country is very depressing. We should do our bit and make a difference!!
