I visited the museum back in 2010, and somehow, while walking alone, I just found myself wandering into the museum. I got quite a shock from one of their live snakes - you see, I had always assumed everything in museums would be static displays or specimens. So when I leaned in close to the glass to get a better look, the snake suddenly lunged forward with its mouth open! My scream echoed through the entire museum, and people nearby kept asking if I was okay. I told them "It's alive! It just scared the life out of me!" Apart from that little surprise, everything else about the museum was great!
