Museum of Science, Boston Massachusetts

Museum of Science

The Museum of Science is an internationally renowned science museum and indoor natural zoo at Boston, Massachusetts. Established in 1960, it was one of the first museums in the United States to focus on the scientific education of young people. It is now one of the world’s leading science centers. Visitors to the museum can view some 2 million artifacts, including dinosaur tracks, coral reefs and fossilized coral. This museum also houses a planetarium and a life science laboratory.

This museum is home to numerous permanent exhibits and has recently created two temporary exhibitions and is expecting to add many more to its existing collections. The Museum of Science has two permanent Science Museum galleries, which contain nearly two hundred thousand specimens. There are two Science Centres located in Boston. Exhibits at the Science Museum range from the earth and planetary science to energy, bacteria and anatomy. Many other exhibits focus on areas like space research, diabetes, cancer, neurological disorders, anthropology, ecology, communications, technology and society.

At the Science Museum, visitors will find two permanent exhibits focusing on early American history and archeology. One exhibit focuses on American Indian art and displays the Cheyenne and Lakota art along with other examples of their art, music and cultural practices. The other exhibit is called the Early Years of American Science and highlights seven early years science museum displays that span the country, which showcased discoveries by six early American scientists. These include William Herschel, Henry Lee, Martha Stewart, Philip extraterapanel, Maria Mitchell, Edward Wright, and Albert Einstein.

In addition to these two permanent exhibits, the Museum of Science has a wide range of temporary exhibits, which it frequently changes according to the times. These temporary exhibits often appear in science centers across the country as part of promotions for certain events or as special offerings. Some of these temporary exhibits focus on an individual theme, while others focus on a collection of themes that include the nature, history, technology or more general themes. For example, the temporary exhibit focusing on birds’ world, showcased in the Science Center, focuses on the various avian species represented within the museum’s collection.

During the day, the Museum of Science and Space can be opened up to explore our vast space through a variety of hands-on activities and experiments that include a video about outer space, a Mars experiment, and an LCD simulation of space and time. Throughout the day, the museum will host several interactive exhibits, including “Virtual Tour” which allows visitors to walk through the Museum while wearing a VR headset. Another interactive exhibit allows visitors to answer trivia questions about outer space. At night, the museum will host a light show that showcases stars and galaxies. The temporary planetarium at the museum is used to educate children about our solar system, the universe and space in general. Children also have the opportunity to interact with two solar system models and a model of the moon.

For those interested in learning about more scientific topics, the museum has several temporary exhibits that allow attendees to investigate various areas of science. One of these exhibits is “Learn More Science”, which is hosted by the University of California, Berkeley. This exhibit focuses on six areas of science, such as astronomy, earth science, physics, astronomy, and cosmology. The exhibit runs from September to March, with weekend internships that last two weeks being held in the Museum of Science and Space. In addition, the museum will host “Scientist Talks” throughout spring and summer, where different local scientists talk about their work and discuss the science behind Pixar creation.
