‘before leaving home, always take a last look in the mirror and take the last piece off’- Coco Chanel. Surely, the pioneer of woman fashion didn’t see the dainty jewelries coming to rule the world.

adventure. When I entered the section titled “Nature’s Furry” I could feel my inner child stirring inside as I glanced over all the exhibits. The eight-minute presentation of how the earth has been affected by all of these natural disasters felt a little unnerving. I loved how they divided the exhibit into four sections, which were - Earthquakes, Volcanic eruptions, Tornados and Hurricanes. I skillfully created my own volcano and watched it erupt. Stood in the middle of a room so I could feel
