Museum of Natural History in Muncie, Indiana???

The new season of Marvel's Agents of Shield recently started. It's the sixth season and I was very excited for it to finally begin. It was nearly canceled after the fifth season, but brought back for one more season...hopefully more. The first episode of the season was great, answering some questions and opening up another slew of questions. Can't wait to see how this season plays out. Anyway, there was a moment in the movie that struck me as quite odd, and well, completely wrong!

Shield is looking for a couple of individuals causing trouble and they locate them in Indiana. Hey, cool, I'm familiar with Indiana. The next scene showed a large complex that looked like and was a large museum. The text on the screen came up stating it was the Museum of Natural History in Muncie, Indiana. Um...what?!?!?! I'm familiar with Muncie, and I can assure you there is no Museum of Natural History, let alone a large complex with hundreds of people walking on the street. Muncie has a population of about 70,000 according to a 2014 estimate. Not a small town, but not nearly large enough to support a massive museum.

I even went as far as doing a TripAdvisor search to see if there was a small history museum I was unaware. Nope. TripAdvisor brings up 12 things to do in Muncie. A few art and culture places, a couple of museums, including a children's museum, a campground, and a few outdoor things, but no Museum of Natural History or anything similarly named. LOL!

What were the writer's thinking? I really don't know. They could have chosen Indianapolis as there are several large history museums there and it is a larger city. Oh well, the episode was still fantastic, despite the lack of a Museum of Natural History in Muncie, Indiana. :-)
