message: This first line has got to go: "In essence, the museum began as a place where these men could store and display skins and other trophies of their travels to Africa and Asia."
That's like saying, "after a rich and storied history all we have left once everything has been sold off are a bunch of trophies. We are going to completely ignore the everything else."
Early history needs a bit beefing up. Read "In essence, the museum began as a place where these men could store and display skins and other trophies of their travels to Africa and Asia. 
Read " THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BOSTON SOCIETY OF NATURAL HISTORY by Johnson, Richard I" for starters. MBCF (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: In the historical exhibits section:
"In the 1950s, a small cloud chamber was featured in the main entrance hall. Visitors could come within inches of radioactive material to watch the vapor trails of the particles they emitted."
--I was at the museum yesterday and there was an operating cloud chamber on display (not in the main entrance hall). This isn't very "historical". 192.52.61.205 (talk) 17:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

message: There is no context for the beaver picture, while I agree it is from the museum of science in Boston, it isn't on this page for any particular reason.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.1.94.188 (talk) 23:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Is the "Wildlife section" section really necessary? It consists entirely of three unsourced sentences and a somewhat random picture of a beaver. Chris (talk) 22:13, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You're quite correct - it looks like a joke. How did we miss it? I've removed it. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 03:54, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

message: * The article title is Museum of Science (Boston).
* The logo in the legend says Museum of Science.
* The legend is captioned Museum of Science, Boston.
* Section "WWII" sentence one calls it Boston Museum of Science.
Until we're told which one is right, all are wrong.
Isn't the museum itself refereeing this article?  If not, why?  We want to continually improve Wikipedia.
