The Boston Museum of Science has an NFL exhibit called Gridiron Glory that runs through January 7, 2018. This is from the museum's website on the science that's covered. I also found that Chronicle on WCVB pointed out that the exhibit itself does not get into the problem of brain concussions, but the museum has a lecture each day on this subject.
