"At the Harvard Museum of Natural History, just steps away from the historic Harvard Yard, you can witness the celebrated Blaschka glass flowers & sea creatures, roar with the Siberian tiger, find your birthstone, and go back in time in Romer Hall, home of the famous 42-foot Kronosaurus. You may even see a live specimen in the arthropod gallery!The Harvard Museum of Natural History is the most-visited attraction at Harvard—for its incomparable collections based on the research of scientists across the University, and its ongoing exhibitions like Climate Change, The Rockefeller Beetles, Birds of the World, Marine Life, and more."
