    This is one of the most important museums in the world. Their collection is amazing and the exhibition is worthy every minute. Be sure to take a look at the glass flowers (they are amazing), and take a photograph by the tiger. I do recommend this place.

    Still one of my favorite museums. Worth dropping by if you're in the area, or Boston in general!

    Be sure you take time for the glass flowers. They are unbelievably life-like. This exhibit might be less interesting for small children.

    While on the topic of comparative zoology, would anyone care to imagine how the wealth-worshipping and planet-destroying earthlings might compare to intelligent beings found elsewhere in the universe? Hmm… I thought not.

    The public face of the MCZ is the Harvard Museum of Natural History (HMNH). In addition, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology is colocated. Admission allows access to both public museums.

    My all time favorite museum, they have everything from fossilized ground sloth skeletons and preserved ceolocaths to glass flowers and rocks with hair.

    The time is near to lift a face masks wearing, this is one of many places I have interest to see while I'm in Cambridge.
