- History is Essential: We hardly want to study history in schools, and it is not a surprise since history is facts without any proof in front of your eyes. Museums have a way to give the facts a touch of reality. They have a collection of fossils and bones attached in a way that you see the dinosaur standing there itself. And then they also have a collection of fossils that will be the proof of whatever you have studied till date.

In some museums, there are several shows conducted in 3D, 4D or VR to give you the real tour in dinosaurs’ world.
