On occasion, The Harvard Museum of Natural History hosts special events (even weddings!), and last night, they hosted a very special event to honor the kindness of the Zofnass family, who donated generously to support the newest exhibit, New England Forests. This exhibit is amazing! It is all about the flora and fauna in New England, and how that ecosystem functions and responds to change.
I visited the Museum shortly after I moved to the Boston area less than three years ago, and immediately fell in love. From the minerals to the glass flowers to the Africa gallery, this newest exhibit is another great reason to go. The attention to detail in this gallery is amazing. There are so many little things that support this exhibit, like the woodpecker perched near the top of one of the trees, that it is doubtful you will be able to take it all in on your first visit.
This gallery opens to the public starting tomorrow, May 21st. General admission for adults is $9, for children only $6, and Sunday morning from 9-noon, admission is free to Massachusetts residents. For more information about planning your trip, go here.
