Founded by Harvard inventor David Edwards, Le Lab Cambridge is the first outpost of Edwards’ Paris cultural lab, and it’ll certainly get your head spinning. From a jellyfish exhibit that illustrated environmental woes to a virtual-reality experience that let users feel like they’re flying, Le Lab challenges visitors to open their minds. The space has also hosted a music residency for the innovative Ecce Ensemble, and it’s home to the inventive Cafe ArtScience, proving it’s not just smart—it’s well-rounded, too.
