The Museum of Science in Boston, or MoS, offers family-friendly, hands-on exhibits regarding science and technology as well as speakers and a wealth of revolving educational programmes. The museum was founded in 1830 by a scientific society exploring research. After World War II, the facility was open to the public. The name changed, incorporating a planetarium and taking on presentations from local schools.

The museum has repeatedly been renovated and expanded to improve its offerings over the years. Today it offers everything from optical illusions to radio technology to a zoo and other attractions. It's a place where the entire family can play, learn, and have hands-on experiences.
