I was just at the Franklin Institute two weeks ago. There's a lot to see
and do there. The biology wing was recently remodeled and there's a new
heart exhibit. For anyone who is into science and technology, a visit to
the Franklin Institute will be enjoyable.

I haven't seen it yet, but the Franklin Institute has a temporary
exhibit all about animation that looks very interesting. The web site at
http://www.fi.edu/ has lots of information for those who are interested
in the Franklin Institute.
