Inside and outside of the Museum of Science

The most popular museum for children in the Boston area is the Museum of Science. Contrary to other museums where the rule is 'Don't touch', here the visitors are invited to touch and push buttons and interact with different exhibitions. Many different things can be discovered and are explained by educational texts or patient volunteers. The excitement is high and the noise level of happy voices is even higher.

From the large Cafeteria windows the view is calming. Heavy rain clouds are hiding the top floors of Hancock and Prudential towers. From Boston's Back bay to the left to Cambridge to the right spans the Longfellow Bridge over the Charles river. With barely a ripple on the water surface it is a picture of calm and quietness. Perfect 'museum weather'!
