      02/10/12- 02/26/12	What I Eat: Around the World in 25 Diets Museum of Science, Boston What I Eat: Around the World in 25 Diets Presented by Museum of Science. Boston at Museum of Science, Boston February 10-February 26, 2012 This thought-provoking collection of portraits shines light on the similarities and the differences in the ways we approach and consume food. Each of the 25 photo essays in the exhibit includes a comprehensive list of every item that individual consumed during one particular — though not necessarily average — day, along with the total calorie count. Profiles are laid out in order of increasing caloric intake, from a low of 800 calories a day for a Maasai herder in Kenya,...
      01/22/12- 05/06/12	Geckos: Tails to Toepads Museum of Science, Boston Geckos: Tails to Toepads Presented by Museum of Science. Boston at Museum of Science, Boston January 22-May 6, 2012 Enter the world of geckos — bulging eyes, night vision, sticky toepads, squawking voices, and disposable body parts. More than 60 exotic geckos have arrived at the Museum of Science! Geckos: Tails to Toepads was created by Peeling Productions at Clyde Peeling's Reptiland.
      10/02/11- 02/12/12	A Day in Pompeii Museum of Science, Boston A Day in Pompeii Presented by Museum of Science. Boston at Museum of Science, Boston October 2, 2011-February 12, 2012 Get a glimpse of daily life in Pompeii, one of Imperial Rome's most cosmopolitan cities. Hundreds of artifacts — including body casts of the volcano's victims — bring to light the vibrancy of this bustling resort town, but the darkening skies ahead and violent sounds of Vesuvius spewing ash and debris signal imminent danger. Advance purchase highly recommended.
