Harvard Museum of Natural History
 Included
Entry with the Go Boston Card
The Harvard Museum of Natural History’s collection of glass flowers is the only one of its kind in the world. Between 1886 and 1936, German glassmaker Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolf produced exquisite, breathtakingly lifelike models of approximately 3,000 plants to be used for teaching botany at the university. Even if this remarkable garden were all that HMNH offered, it would still be well worth a look, but the museum has much more to captivate even the least science-minded visitors. The museum complex bulges with collections documenting over two centuries of scientific exploration of our planet. Exhibitions like “Dodos, Trilobites & Meteorites“ showcase never-before-seen treasures from historic expeditions to the depths of the oceans, Tibetan mountain peaks, the Brazilian Amazon, America’s western frontier, and other remote environments then unknown to science. Don’t miss the world’s only mounted Kronosaurus, a 42-foot-long prehistoric marine reptile, or HMNH’s huge 1,642-pound amethyst.
