17 Best Museums in Boston

"This museum proves fascinating for adults and science-minded kids alike. Since 1998, it has served as the public-facing side of Harvard’s botanical, geological, and zoology research. Some of the collections here began as early as the 1780s. Highlights to hit would be the glass flowers (probably the most interesting thing in the museum’s collection), the dinosaur hall (don’t miss the world’s only mounted Kronosaurus and one of the first Triceratops skulls ever discovered), the gem gallery (check out the 1,600-pound Brazilian amethyst geode), and the great mammal hall (look up to see the five whale skeletons suspended from the ceiling). It's also a two birds one stone situation as admission here also grants access to the adjacent Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology." - Elizabeth Wellington, Andrew Sessa
