Museum of Science

The Museum of Science is a science museum built on the Charles River Dam between Boston and Cambridge, at Science Park since 1951. It grew out of the Boston Society of Natural History, founded in 1830. Its halls hold hundreds of hands-on exhibits, and it houses the Charles Hayden Planetarium, the Mugar Omni Theater and a theater with a large Van de Graaff generator.
