【Travel in America #3】MIT Museum, Boston Public Library

Introduction

Massachusetts education was truly beyond my expectations, and Boston Public Library was more like a free museum. Even though Transportation is said to be one of the worst conditions in the US, education was top level in the world.

Transportation

To move from Framingham to Logan Airport, Logan Express is a good option. We can go to the airport only for $9 per one-way. And move to the city center by using a free airport shuttle bus and metro line. A 7-day metro pass is available so they don't cost too much.

However, the metro red line is extremely slow and generally dirty.

This is not related to transportation, but I found a rare affordable stall above the downtown crossing.

The MIT Museum

MIT Museum is right next to the station connected with Google.

Every exhibit is visually pleasing and very well explained.

The content was so diverse across many disciplines and morally considered. This is the artwork of the genetically modified animal effect.

Those are artworks related to city design. The immersive 3D graphic representation was so astonishing.

I will avoid too much explanation but there were tons of exhibitions across 2 floors and every one of them was so high quality.

MIT Buildings

Each building was so artistic and expensive. The land is so big but there are bunch of artwork and definitely worth visiting.

Boston Public Library

This public library is so massive and free for everyone. The library was so luxurious that it looked like a museum or palace. Two buildings constitute the library the historical one is more for artistic exhibition or study space, and the new one is more like a normal public library. But most people are just using PCs actually. One reason is that most books are too old to read.

The architecture of this museum is so impressive. This kind of library has never existed in Japan. The museum is donated by rich individuals and definitely costs an insane amount of money.

While preserving historical segment, this library also offers innovation space including 3D printer.

Conclusion

MIT Museum is somewhat affordable and there was also so many free activity like Boston Public Library. People in Boston are so highly educated and knowledge is available to anyone.
