Monday Part II: Harvard Museum of Science

The Harvard Museum of Science was really interesting, and much bigger than we expected. We ended up splitting up, so our pictures are kind of random.


This was a part of their collection of rocks. They were very pretty!



These are hummingbirds from the bird room. The bird room freaked Cathy out. The bird room was just like being in that movie. *shudder* Bird room.

The next thing was the most incredible part of the Museum. We spent more time in this room than in any other:

Hint: Everything is made of glass. EVERYTHING.

This table was used to make the Amazing! Glass! Things!


It was the glass flower display. They were AMAZING.

They looked REAL.


They were extraordinarily detailed.


The collection was started in 1886, and were once used in classes at Harvard.


Wow.

If you're ever here and only have time to do one room, do the glass flower collection.


The pictures are not doing it justice. Even close up, it looked like they were real flowers.

More.





Loved it. We stayed until they closed the museum.
