Boston
is known as the cradle of American history, but it also boasts
world renown museums of art and science. Art
lovers in Boston should flock to the Museum of Fine Arts,
known as the "MFA". The MFA is over 125 years old
and has an international collection of masterpieces, including
one of the largest collections of Asian art in the world. The
I. S. Gardner Museum, which was built in the style of a
15-th century Venetian palace is located only a few blocks
away from the MFA, making it easy to see some of the finest
art in Boston in one afternoon. Science
enthusiasts will love visiting the Museum of Science, it's one
of the most innovative and interesting museums on the East
coast. There are over 600 interactive exhibits as well as the
Hayden Planetarium and the Mugar Omni Theater. |
Come
snout-to-snout with the king—or queen—of the dinosaurs
at the Museum of Science. On June 21, visitors to the
Museum of Science, Boston will get an up-close look at one
of the biggest, fiercest meat-eaters ever to roam North
America—Tyrannosaurus rex. Sue lived a long life, and when
she died her massive body was covered by the fine silt of an
ancient river. For millions of years, Sue lay buried deep
within the Black Hills of South Dakota until August 12,
1990, when fossil hunter Sue Hendrickson encountered the
sleeping giant. A fully mounted cast of Sue’s magnificent
skeleton will be on exhibit at the Museum of Science.
Visitors will marvel at the single largest and most complete
T.rex yet discovered. On exhibit from June 21 -
October 9, 2000.
