Event 2: The Museum of Jurassic Technology.

 The Museum of Jurassic Technology

It was a sunny evening on 14^th November and that’s when I decided to make my way to the Museum of Jurassic Technology. This was actually the second time I was visiting the museum having been there in July to witness a performance by Eva Salina. My earlier experience at the museum was thrilling and that is why I decided to make my way back.  The museum defines itself as an institution of education that is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and the public appreciation of the Lower Jurassic. The pieces on exhibit were unusual and had varying degrees of authenticity.  Some objects looked out of this world while other could not be proved to have actually existed during the Lower Jurassic age.

The Museum’s interior was dark and these evoked a feeling of creepiness.  The pieces on display were illuminated with pinpoint lighting while others had light within them.  The audio guides and placards made it easy to understand what was on display but the scientific language used seemed more confusing since many people could not tell whether the description given were facts or just fiction.  There was a gallery that was showcasing portraits of dogs claimed to have been used in the Russian space project and another one showcased and described various superstitious beliefs in different cultures.  Though it was creepy, the ambiance in the museum resulted to an experience that placed me in a state of doubt and confusion.

The Eva Salina performance that went on a few months ago was an interesting event.  She showed her prowess by being able to sing a blaring brass band. Apart from her voice being rich, it was distinctive and captivating. Her performance incorporated music from different cultures that included the Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Corsica, Georgia, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the Romani people. The whole experience at the museum is worth trying out and I would recommend a visit by anyone is search of new adventure and experience.
