If you are looking for a fun (and free!) attraction in the historic section of the city, be sure to check out the recently opened museum at the Chemical Heritage Foundation. Does anything with the word "chemical" in it scare you away as being a bit too brainy? Well don't let it, because CHF has done a marvelous job of creating its permanent exhibition Making Modernity, which includes "scientific instruments and apparatus, rare books, fine art, and the personal papers of prominent scientists. Topics range from alchemy, synthetics, and the chemical-instrument revolution to chemistry education, electrochemistry, chemistry sets, and the science of color." Trust us, it's cool to see the evolution of modern technology as exhibited through the installations of Making Modernity. The gorgeous main hall features an interactive tower screen that will have you learning more about the periodic table than you ever thought you would again after tenth grade chem class.
