Relaxing weekend 2

Here are some more pictures from in the museum. Most of these are from the Chinese Science part. They include; a water clock (blinkin' huge), a sun dial, and a seismograph.

On top of the water clock.






Celestial globe in the water clock.






The little people in the clock, they move around and depending on what people are showing in the doorway will tell you what the time is.


Cogs in the water clock.






Big sun dial.


Chinese Seismograph. I teach the kids this in one level. Here is a link to some more information. Truly great invention in 132 AD.








The entrance to the Polynesia section.


Dinosaurs outside.
