Charles River Musuem of Industry

Big shiny machines. *drool*

As I've been traveling the East Coast and visiting various relatives, I absolutely had to drag my family to the Charles River Museum of Industry, given its fame in the steampunk community. At least once in the past, they have turned the entire town of Waltham, Massachusetts into a fantastic steam city with their Steampunk Festival, and, if I'm not mistaken, they frequently host steampunk-themed exhibits. Sadly, I missed these events, but I still found the museum to be worth a visit.

My hat. BE JEALOUS!

Remarkably, I managed not to drool on any of the machines in joy. I spent an hour or so staring happily at the multitude of brass gears, and then bought a nice hat in gift shop on the way out.
