Advantages: Mummies and Dinosaws
Disadvantages: Shop is a little pricey
Do you like looking at history? Do you like mummies? Dinosaws?
Well the new walk museum has it all. You can see the real life like mummies and how people lived when mummies were wrapped.
Also see the life size dinosaw skeleton and lots of smaller ones.
There is also the wild life section and you can actually be part of the display and look at little creatures using and electronic microscope.
Upstaris, which has a life to get there aswel as steps; you can view lots of arts and painting and watch a video on variouss pieces of history.
There are also small little activitie for the little ones to do to keep them ammused.
There is also a gift shop inside, but like all they are a bit pricey, selling quite a range of good relating to the museum's history and also some sweets.
I think this museum is good for all ages if you enjoy history. Why not take a pic-nic and eat it on the New Walk, which looks great and part of the history of Leicester.
Summary: Look at the history of mummies and dinosaws, in the New Walk Museum
