Steve BattleMarch 16, 2013If you're visiting Harvard, don't miss the Harvard Mark 1 automatic calculator, built in 1943/44. Don't miss its futuristic enclosure designed by Norman Bel Geddes. Unmissable computing history.

Don't really like the design and architecture. Kind of disorganized and messy.- Dyson airblade in the men's room, I can't vouch for the ladies' room
Don't go to the second floor far right desks. There is a broken AC vent and it's extremely loud and annoying.

Avoid their pizza like the plague. Bad crust and bland sauce. You can't get much worse than this!

"Check the hours of operation prior to arrival. Now, the Library closes midnight some days, and at 6:00pm or 10:00pm, for others."

"Had the mezzo platter and an iced coffee—both delicious!"
Kinley Russell 
"Small museum, a good number of scientific instruments in a fairly small space. Good descriptions of the artifacts, especially some of the more obscure items. Entry was free."
