Louvre for less
The Louvre is free the first Sunday of every month, but everybody knows this - so the queues are vast. But you can visit it at half the price on Wednesday and Friday evenings, between 6 and 9:45pm.
#museum#parisNatural History Museum is a must see in London
Natural Histoty Museum is an interesting and fun place for kids and adults alike. The victorian building itself especially designed to host the museum is a stunning piece of architecture. As soon as you enter the main hall, you're blown away by the beauty of the building's interior and the giant dinosaur skeleton!
The museum is very large, so you can spent the whole day here and have a reason to return to see the rest of the objects. The museum is divided into zones:
- Red Zone dedicated to the Earth (you can for example experience an earthquake);
- Green Zone with the central hall and its huge diplodocus skeleton, tossile marine reptiles, birds, minerals, primates;
- Blue Zone with the dinosaurs, fishes, amphibians and reptiles, the human biology, the marine invertebrates, the mammals and the blue whale;
- Orange Zone with the Wildlife Garden.
The dinosaurs exhibition includes lots of bones, skulls, fossilized eggs, but the greatest fun is provided by the animatronics. An extremely realistic T-Rex that move and even seem to breathe, give the impression of visiting a zoo. The life-sized Blue Whale suspended from the ceiling or the 1,300-year-old giant sequoia takes your breath too.
Don't need to say children love it, there are a lot of games and little tests for them.
Admission is FREE! I also like the fact that you're allowed to take photographs anywhere in the Museum. Museum is open every day 10.00AM – 17.50PM, last admission is at 17.30PM.
Directions: Nearest tube is South Kensington (Piccadilly, District & Circle lines) – follow the signs to walk here through the pedestrian subway (about 5 minutes) or turn right and then first left out of the station if you prefer to walk in fresh air.

How to avoid queuing at the Louvre Museum
One of the biggest queue when visiting Paris on week-ends is the one at Louvre museum. The easiest way to avoid some of the queues is by entering through the Carrousel du Louvre (the shopping centre). It is open even on Sundays.

In Los Angeles, free days at museums aren't difficult to come by. In fact, so many LA museums offer free days that it's easy to enjoy some of LA's greatest treasures without spending any money at all. We know you're busy trying to have fun, so we've compiled this free museum guide.
