The Harvard Museum of Natural History

The Harvard Museum of Natural History contains extensive collections of preserved animals, minerals, and the renowned Glass Flowers exhibition featuring 4,000 botanical models.

Founded in 1998 through the combination of three research museums at Harvard University, the museum continues a scientific legacy spanning over 150 years.

The museum functions as an educational center where Harvard researchers and students conduct studies while sharing their findings with thousands of annual visitors.

The museum offers free admission to Massachusetts residents on Sunday mornings and Wednesday afternoons upon presentation of valid identification documents.
