The Museum of Science (MoS) is a science museum and indoor zoo in Boston, Massachusetts, located in Science Park, a plot of land spanning the Charles River. Along with over 700 interactive exhibits, the museum features several live presentations throughout the building every day, with shows at the Charles Hayden Planetarium and the Mugar Omni Theater, the only domed IMAX screen in New England. The museum is also an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is home to over 100 animals, many of which have been rescued and rehabilitated. LadyB’s Bed Bug Pros Boston
The museum began as the Boston Society of Natural History in 1830, founded by a collection of men who wished to share scientific interests. Their first meeting was held on February 9, 1830, with seven original members: Walter Channing, Benjamin D. Greene, George Hayward, John Ware, Edward Brooks, Amos Binney, and George B. Emerson. It was more commonly called the Boston Museum of Natural History in the 19th century, and this name frequently occurs in the literature. In 1862, after the society had gone through several temporary facilities, a building was constructed in the Back Bay area of the city and dubbed the “New England Museum of Natural History.” The museum was located next to the original Rogers Building of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and William G. Preston designed both neoclassical structures. The original MIT building was demolished in 1939, but the Natural History Museum building survives today as a home furnishing showcase.
Tech Studio
Tech Studio is an exhibit on the first level in the Blue Wing that sees about 200–800 visitors a day. It includes various design challenges and, more, one-on-one “cart activities” for visitors. The design center comprises about a dozen activities for visitors to attempt while learning about the engineering process run twice a day from 10 am-12 pm and from 1:30 pm–3:30 pm during the school year, and 4:30 pm–6:30 pm during the summer. The cart activities include robotics and circuitry and are more meant for teaching visitors about new technology. All activities also include a magnet for visitors who attempted the activities.
