butterflies. At any given time, the atrium may contain up to 500 butterflies representing as many as 50 different species

Boston Children's Museum
The Boston Children's Museum exists to help children understand and enjoy the world in which they live. As an early museum
experience for children, our environment is informal, but our purpose is serious. We want children to grow up feeling
secure and self-confident with respect for others and the natural world. We encourage imagination, curiosity, questioning,
and realism. We provide opportunities for new insights, involvement with the world and understanding of human differences
with world-class exhibits and programs.
