BOSTON (WHDH) – The Museum of Science in Boston is back open Friday night after it was briefly closed and evacuated due to a bomb threat, according to museum officials.
In a statment, the museum wrote, “This afternoon, an individual implied to Cambridge Police that he had placed a suspicious package at the Museum of Science. Following an immediate evacuation and full sweep of the Museum by state and local police, the threat was determined to be a hoax. We thank the Museum visitors who were onsite for their patience and our law enforcement partners for their quick and thorough response.”
There is a private event planned at the museum tonight, and state police troopers will be on hand for extra security.
Cambridge police are investigating the situation.
No other details were immediately available.
