00:00From the second you enter and you're greeted by a family of five

00:07seropods welcoming you to this amazing museum, that in itself is going to

00:12instill so much curiosity and imagination in our youth and ourselves also.

00:23The Middle East's largest natural history museum celebrates over 13 billion years of science and

00:29discovery as the latest addition to Sadiat Cultural District opens in Abu Dhabi.

00:34From the creation of our planet to the history of life on earth,

00:38it showcases some incredible exhibits that bring nature's story to life.

00:43This specimen is called Stan and it's one of the best preserved examples of a T-Rex.

00:49Its bones and its teeth are in outstanding condition. Have a look.

00:53Other highlights include a piece of moon rock that you can touch,

01:00a 25 meter whale skull and the oldest thing on display in the museum.

01:06The Murchison meteorite is one of the most primitive space rocks known and was formed from a parent

01:12asteroid around 4.5 billion years ago at the birth of our solar system. Now when it fell to earth in

01:19Australia, locals said that it smelled of rotten peanut butter or brussels sprouts because of the

01:26compound inside and apparently it still does. Visiting exhibitions will also make up the cultural

01:32programme like this March of the Triceratops. It's an immersive exhibit in partnership with

01:38Naturalist Biodiversity Centre in the Netherlands. This is the first ever heard of Triceratops skeletons

01:45discovered together in North America. This is a museum that's full of life. What I mean by that

01:52is that it's a continuous evolution in this museum. So our research department, our programming

01:58department, our publication departments will work hand in hand with cultural institutions,

02:03scientific institutions to continuously research these amazing species working hand in hand together

02:08and finding new discoveries. Immersive experiences and science programmes for the community

02:14connect the past, present and future, stimulating imagination and encouraging learning for the next

02:21generation. You get to learn so much different experiences because in one room you could learn

02:27about the T-Rexes, one room you could learn about earth, you could learn about so much different things.

02:33This place is like a very good place and like we should care about the planets more and like

02:39educate people how to like clean the world and keep it a sustainable place. The Natural History Museum

02:47Abu Dhabi is a curious space for all and one that will inspire and shape a better future for generations to come.
