Bowers Museum in Santa Ana

Overall i enjoyed this museum. it had a lot of old artifacts and a lot of interesting things. There were lots of artifacts from different cultures in this museum. The had a big exhibit from the terra cotta warriors that i wasnt able to attend :( but looked really interesting. My favorite exhibit was the sperm whale one. it showed a lot of objects that were made during the times of whale hunting. its sad to see what we killed whales for, but at the same time amazing how certain objects had extremely high value.  overall i spent about an hour and half  at this museum, but it was well spent. i definately enjoyed what was on display.
