Description:
The University's most visited museum, the Harvard Museum of Natural History displays some 12,000 specimens, including dinosaurs, rare minerals, hundreds of mammals, birds, and Harvard's world famous Blaschka 'Glass Flowers'. Don't miss seeing these 3,000 amazingly realistic models of plants, fruits and flowers hand-crafted by father-son glass artists Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka from 1886-1936. You won't believe they're not real. The HMNH combines historic exhibits drawn from the University's vast collections with new and changing, multimedia exhibitions such as New England Forests, Language of Color, and Mollusks: Shelled Masters of the Marine Realm. Just a 7-10 minute walk through historic Harvard Yard from the Harvard Square MBTA Red Line 'T' station. Open daily, 9 am - 5 pm, 361 days/year.
