Celebrate your Wedding at the
Charles River Museum!
“The space is absolutely beautiful. …don’t expect the Museum of Science. It’s better: it’s authentic, it’s human, it’s a little eccentric.”
—Megan B. , married on 04/02/2022, via weddingwire.com
Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation can provide a unique and exciting ambiance for your wedding.
