The Carnegie Museum of Natural History 2021

Seeking a weekend activity while a family member was visiting from out of-state, we decided to explore the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

That family member is my uncle, that is my mother’s brother. He is a complete mystery to me. I do not understand him at all. That does not mean that over the course of my life I have not desired a closer relationship with him. But after more than fifty years of distance, I do not believe I will find such a relationship in our mutual lifetime.

When he does come to visit, we try to find some activity that we can all agree on. We live just outside the city of Pittsburgh.In the summer of 2021, while seeking a local attraction, we all decided to visit the Carnegie Museums. I think The others had in mind to explore the art museum, I chose to start with the museum of natural history. Unfortunately by the time we finished we were simply too tired to walk the art exhibits.
