HIDDEN GEM
🌻 Explore Glass Flowers at the Harvard Museum of Natural History
The Glass Flowers exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History is a true hidden gem in Boston.
🌷 What Is It? - Created by father-and-son duo Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka between 1887 and 1936, these stunningly detailed glass models of plants are a rare fusion of art and science. The exhibit features over 4,000 glass flower pieces, all crafted with incredible precision. Originally made as teaching tools for Harvard’s botany department, the collection has since become one of the museum’s most iconic attractions.
🖼️ Other Exhibits - While you’re at the museum, don’t miss the other fascinating exhibits, like the Hall of Fossils, which showcases dinosaur skeletons and ancient sea creatures, or the Minerals Gallery, home to a dazzling collection of gemstones and minerals. You can also explore exhibits on evolutionary biology and biodiversity, offering a deeper look into the natural world.
✨ Budget-friendly - Admission to the Harvard Museum of Natural History is $15 for adults and $10 for Non-Harvard college students. It's also free to Massachusetts residents every Sunday morning from 9am to 12pm and on Wednesdays from 3pm to 5pm.
Whether you're an art enthusiast or a nature lover, the Glass Flowers and other exhibits are worth the visit! It’s a perfect place to spend an afternoon if you’re into science, art, or just curious about the wonders of nature.
