Museum of Arts & Sciences

Physically, celadon porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and a 13-foot skeleton of the giant ground sloth don’t have too much in common. But both explore how our world has evolved and how we perceive it—making both perfectly suited for display in the eclectic exhibits of the Museum of Arts & Sciences. The 100,000-square-foot museum—which perches on a 90-acre nature preserve—houses a planetarium alongside myriad exhibits that delve into art, history, and science.

The museum’s particularly impressive assembly of Cuban art draws visitors through 300 years of history with more than 200 rare maps, paintings, and ceramics. Nearby, the exhibit of Chinese art glimmers with gemstones, bronzes, and cloisonné. Visitors also peruse crafts made closer to home in the 4,000-square-foot gallery of American art, where portraits by Gilbert Stuart and landscapes by George Bonfield hang on walls, rather than on the traditional horse’s withers. In addition to its traditional art galleries, the Museum of Arts & Sciences also hosts more fragile objects inside the Helene B. Roberson Visible Storage Building, a 4,400-square-foot glass-fronted space designed to maintain exhibits in a climate-controlled state.

Younger museum-goers can gaze longingly at the 800 teddy bears on display in the Americana-focused Root Family Museum before heading to the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum to explore hands-on science exhibits. In addition to assembling and testing model racecars, whippersnappers strum the 16 laser beams of a laser harp and find the carotid artery with an ultrasound at the radiology lab. Daily shows in the planetarium continue scientific education by unlocking the night sky’s mysteries, such as why stars don’t go out when you blow on them.

The Groupon Guide to: Bold Choices

Einstein once said, "A life half-lived will only experience a half-life," an inspirational quote inspired by his bold addiction to radioactive isotopes. What are some bold choices that could transform your life?

  • Try adding some hot sauce to your food instead of just plain old sauce.
  • Play hooky, or its equally dangerous cousin, hockey.
  • Stand up to your neighborhood bully. If he kills you, the joke’s on him—murder is still illegal in your state!
  • If your name is Ben Kobold, change your name to Ben So-bold.
  • Quit your day job! This will free up time for you to pursue your real dreams: steady employment and financial security.

What are some bold choices that could transform your entire life?
