　　Fifteen pre-school children, aged from 3 to 6, camped beside dinosaur fossils with their parents Friday night at the Beijing Museum of Natural History, as part of a unique education experience.

　　The event called "One Night in a Museum", enabled kids from fifteen families to visit the museum after it had closed and then set up camp in the museum's dinosaur corner and spent the rest of the night with the gigantic pre-historic creatures.

　　Some kids were naturally a little scared of the strange environment, with some troubled by the thought of being eaten by a monster in the night. But with the reassuring words of their parents, all the kids managed to stay for the whole night.
