Museum of Science

The Museum of Science at Science Park is a large interactive science museum with permanent exhibits, the Charles Hayden Planetarium, and the Mugar Omni Theater. It traces institutional roots to the Boston Society of Natural History and serves as a major center for STEM education, school field trips, and public programming in Boston. The museum's location along the Charles River and its mix of hands-on exhibits make it a longstanding part of the city's cultural life.
