$10 includes admission to Museum
Just admit it, you've ogled the sleek modern houses you pass on certain streets and wished you could peek inside. The Museum of Science and Industry's Smart Home exhibit offers just that pleasure but it goes beyond mere matters of style: the three-story modular house, designed by Michelle Kaufmann and constructed just outside the museum, is a paragon of sustainable design today. And thanks to Wired magazine it has a high-tech nervous system to boot, which micro-monitors energy efficiency and more. Whether you're cherry-picking ideas for your dream home or just intrigued by architecture and eco-friendly living, this tour should fuel your fantasies for a while.
