If your family likes museums, plan to spend the day, it's worth it to not feel rushed. Amazing experience, lots to take in. Don't miss the Peabody exhibits on the second floor at the rear. We purchas… Full review by d f

I visited this museum with a 10 year old. We spent about two hours at the museum. I would think that adults would want to stay longer there. The Harvard Museum of Natural History is only a (very good) college museum. It isn't nearly as large as the Field Museum or AMNH. You would easily be able to combine it with lunch.

They have a coat space, but it's not attended, or locked. Many visitors spend just a couple hours to wander through just the Harvard Museum of Natural History, but the Peabody Museum is included in your same ticket, and so depending on your knowledge and interest, you could spend longer..also the two smaller HMSC museums are nearby, and free.

How much time should we devote if we just want to see the glass flowers?
A:
That depends on whether you just want to enjoy the looks of the flowers or whether you are actually interested in the plants and their descriptions. If the former, I would say 15 minutes …
That depends on whether you just want to enjoy the looks of the flowers or whether you are actually interested in the plants and their descriptions. If the former, I would say 15 minutes are enough; otherwise, an hour or more.
