Museum of Natural History

Welcome to Twin Mountain Base’s Museum of Natural History. This museum was created as a tribute to exploration of both land and space, to hunting and gathering and to understand the galaxy’s traditional cultures. The displays, both life-sizes and miniature, take the visitors step by step through the entire process of meeting the natural world.

The main hall displays the tools and equipments needed to travel afar and is the opportunity to discover cultural artifacts. Visitors can then choose which rooms to visit according to their own preferences, the flora room contains many samples of rare fruits and vegetables, while the fauna room features displays of the most feared predators roaming, such as the krayt dragon or the rancor, but also of more docile creatures. The ground floor also contains the Space Mining room, where asteroid chunks as well as specialized space mining equipment may be examined.

Going underground, visitors will come to face with a Gungan statue, a tribute to yet another native traditional culture. Immediately on the left, the Bioengineering room contains artifacts and art related to this highly scientific endeavor, while traditional equipment is visible, less traditional cloning methods such as brood sacks are also displayed. On the far left of the corridor, a Resource room displays samples of various ores, gases, and materials, while some are quite common, visitors may take a keen interest in less usual pieces such as enderine ore or wind crystal energy. Next, and in the thematic continuation, is the Mineral room, where color, Force or Nak’tra crystals may be seen, not to be missed is an untuned crystal called Sunrunner Destiny, reported to have mystical qualities, observant visitors, will notice that the lighting in this room honors the mineral theme. However, as visitor will then see in the following room, mining resources is a dangerous activity. The Mining room displays artifacts in relation with the mining, such as tools or clothing, an unfortunate Ughnaught once caught in a carbon freezing chamber is a calling reminder of the inherent dangers. Leaving the mining theme, the visitor will discover numerous trophies in the Trophy room as well as equipment needed to hunt wild beasts, such as rare traps (phecnacine trap, glow wire, bone spur). The final underground room contains life size displays of some creatures from the insect reign to domesticated herd animals.

On the first floor, the Aquatic display recreates an immersion in deep and shallow waters, where various specimen of fishes are placed, simulating a school. Finally, visitors may wind down and relax in the lounge, with its cabin style decoration and rustic furnitures or go up to the terrace and enjoy the view on Twin Mountain Base’s main artery, Kimogila Way.
