The Peabody Museum of Natural History, 170 Whitney Avenue at Sachem Street, has one of those fine, turn-of-the-century collections assembled when American scientists were venturing into all the corners of the world to bring back specimens of terra, flora, and fauna for study and observation by university students. Dinosaur fossils, dioramas featuring North American animals in their habitats, exhibits on human origins and cultures, invertebrate life, meteorites, and minerals are all on display, although what the museum can show is only a fraction of its vast holdings. Besides the permanent exhibits, the museum sponsors special events, lectures, and films. |
