About
Romania's national natural history museum, in a building opened in 1908, is laid out as walk-through dioramas of habitats from the Black Sea and the Danube Delta to Carpathian forests, where a stag is cornered by wolves. The central hall holds a Deinotherium gigantissimum skeleton over 4 meters tall, a giant relative of today's elephants. Temporary shows, from live reptiles to live butterflies, rotate through.
