12 Best Museums in Boston You'll Want to Visit | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Museum of Science spans the length of the Charles River, connecting up-and-coming East Cambridge to Boston’s West End. Once known as the Charles River Dam Bridge, Science Park is home to one of the world’s largest science museums, which manages to stand out even in a city known for its heavy-hitting contributions in the discipline. The scale of the museum’s mid-century building is apparent from other parts of the city, and it becomes even clearer when you arrive at the lobby. With 700 exhibits, this is a place to get lost. Ideally, you could spend a half-day or more soaking up fascinating finds in every corner of this sprawling institution, but make sure to make time for one of the three daily "Lightning!" shows, which facilitates natural lightning with 5,000,000 volts of electricity." - Andrew Sessa, Elizabeth Wellington
