My friend from MIT recommended this campus museum to me. I had checked in at the museum on Harvard campus before, and I was shocked, especially the various stones, which were simply too many to take in. So I decisively added the MIT Museum to my itinerary and found a weekend to check in. Compared with the Harvard Museum, the museum here has fewer visitors, and the museum is full of science and engineering atmosphere. Various designs full of technological content are displayed in the museum. It is also very shocking when you come here for the first time. It is more suitable for friends with science and engineering backgrounds to visit. After visiting the museum, you can visit the MIT campus. You can enter the teaching building without a student card.

When my friend recommended this museum to me, I didn't pay much attention to it at first. I felt that it was difficult for a museum on campus to create a high degree of surprise. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face when I went there. I was so happy to visit it with my friends that I couldn't stop at all. The various strange exhibits were dazzling. The Harvard Museum of Natural History also has a place on the list of Boston's favorite museums. Founded in 1998, the museum consists of three exhibition halls with different themes: plant specimens, comparative zoology, and mineral geology. Among them, the plant specimen hall was established first. At the beginning of the construction of the museum, it was established by more than 200,000 plant specimens donated by Harvard University professor Asa Gray. In 1977, the Mineral and Geology Museum was built with donations. The last one is the Comparative Zoology Hall built in 1859. Each theme pavilion has its own wonderful features. I was so happy visiting each one. The glass flower display in the botanical specimen museum and the various animal specimens in the comparative zoology museum were all amazing. My favorite was the mineral geology museum, which had a variety of exquisite minerals. It feels like I rarely see such a large scale and exquisiteness in other museums.
