Bucharest's best-loved museum for children and its most modern in display: the Grigore Antipa Natural History Museum was fully reopened as an interactive experience — lighting, effects and touchscreens around collections gathered since 1834: the giant Deinotherium skeleton, the Romanian wildlife dioramas whose very style Antipa invented for the world, a bat cave, the floor of the Black Sea. Three floors run from microbe to man: biodiversity, geology, and life in Romania's habitats from the Delta to the Carpathians — every glass case built to be read from a child's height. It neighbours the Peasant Museum and stands steps from the Arch of Triumph, making it the best thing to do on a rainy day or a hot afternoon in the capital.
A giant skeleton of Romania's prehistoric elephants.
Dark, fluttering, sounding — children adore it.
Pelicans and reeds in a diorama true to life.
