Small community natural-science center with specimen displays, models and educational exhibits—good for close-up shots of minerals, taxidermy, microscopes and interactive displays. Visit weekday mornings for low crowds and steady indoor light; check hours and ask about photography policy (museum spaces sometimes restrict flash). On-street parking and nearby public lots in Rockville; compact interior means tripod may be limited. Good for intimate detail work rather than sweeping landscapes.
