Tercera Instalación

After a time, we started to drive through lots of tall skyscrapers and the bus stopped in front of a grand hotel. All the people were getting out so I thought I had better do the same. I climbed down from the bus and wasn’t quite sure where to go when I saw a large group of people being led by a nice-looking man, so I followed them into a huge old building, which I think was a museum. The doors to the museum were gigantic and very heavy, but the man leading the group was kind enough to hold them open for me. On going inside, I saw a coat-checking desk, so I gave them my coat and walked down a hallway. There were lots of lovely paintings on its walls, and at the end of it I came to a queer little cinema. At the back of the cinema there was a big statue of Cleopatra, so it must have been Egypt-themed, but there was nothing showing on the screen so I went out the door (different from the one I had come in by).
I walked out into a great big room filled with little dioramas and all sorts of things. There was a small stuffed harp seal, and displays of desert and tundra, and a frighteningly real-looking stuffed Kodiak bear standing on its hind legs. But what most amazed me most was the enormous whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling. I still can’t imagine how they could have brought such a large creature all the way from the ocean into that room. It must have been hard. After I had walked through most of the room I saw a long escalator going up and up to where I couldn’t see anymore. There was a sign beside it that said: “Coming soon. The first and only touring Led Zeppelin exhibit: Stairway to Heaven.” (I have a faint recollection of the name, but it might have been unpleasant so I believe I forgot it.)
