Museum of Natural History
We will start our day with a visit to the Harvard Museum of Natural History. The museum is on the grounds of Harvard University and displays a sampling of the specimens drawn from the collections of the University’s three natural history research museums – the Harvard University Herbaria, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and the Harvard Mineralogical Museum. The museum also houses one of Harvard’s most famous treasure, the Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants, the “Glass Flowers.” This unique collection was created by glass artisans Leopold and Rudolf Blascha, a father and son from Dresden, Germany.
Lunch at John Harvard’s Brewery
