Lonely Planet review

Just down the hill from the Basilica de Suyapa is the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH). Typically called Ciudad Universitaria, it houses the Museo de Historia Natural in the biology building. The museum, however, is a serious downer despite the upbeat listing in Honduras Tips .

It houses a sad collection of stuffed birds and animals, many with eyes missing, and feathers and fur coming off in clumps. Only the whale skeleton and petrified dung display are remotely memorable, but still not worth the effort, even for kids.
