Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi opens its doors

ABU DHABI: The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi opened its doors on Saturday, marking the latest opening in the capital city’s Saadiyat Cultural District — also home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Zayed National Museum and the upcoming Guggenheim, among other attractions. The 35,000-sq-m space explores 13.8 billion years of history, with standout showcases including a near-complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, dubbed Stan; a 25-meter female blue whale; and the Murchison meteorite, which contains particles that date back to before our solar system was formed.
