These are the museums that we have been to:
Fitzwilliam Museum
This museum is the biggest and has different sections. We saw Egyptian mummies and Egyptian tombs. The Ancient Greek room had lots of vases and sculptures and statues. It has activities for kids to do like finding and drawing things.
Museum of classical archaeology
This one had mainly Greek and Roman statues. There was a place for kids to read Greek myths and I also tried to make a Roman vase.
The archaeology section had a lot of artifacts the arcahaeologists had found. There was a section about the first woman archaeologist at Camrbridge University, Dorothy Garrod. She found lots of things and showed them to the museum. They also had a skeleton which had a mouse and a shrew with it.
Upstairs there was an anthropology section which had a totem pole. It had a carved brown bear and a fan and hundreds and thousands of other objects from all over the world. I liked that part the most. I was given a clipboard and an activity sheet. I found lots of objects starting with different letters in the alphabet.
Sedgwick Museum
This museum was all about earth sciences and it was my favourite! It had lots and lots of fossils and dinosaur bones. It had some fossils found by Mary Anning. It had the study of somebody who looked for fossils and cared a lot about them. We bought fossils at the shop. We were meant to find out what they were. I got shark teeth and two other fossils.

Museum of Zoology
The museum of zoology was about animals and shells. There was a giant clam which was half a metre. It also had lots of things that Charles Darwin had found like the giant ground sloth which was my favourite.

I can't wait to go to the other museums!
