Favorite Museum/Gallery
 
Whats your favorite Museum or Art Gallery?

I have a new pt job at the spy museum which will be interesting.

My favorite museum of all time is the Air and Space Museum. Coming in as a close second is the Franklin Institute in Philadephia. As a kid I loved going through the giant heart maze.

My favorite small museums are the Transit Museum and the Frick Collection. My favorite big museums are the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Field Museum - Chicago

Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History - Detroit. I went to visit when it first opened. My mommy's book was in one of the displays.:D

I really liked the Prado (sp?) in Madrid. And of course Le Louvre. Here in the US, the Western art museum in Fort Worth is very nice. There are also a couple of small but nice art museums up in Tulsa, OK (mainly western art).

I've heard great things about the OKC art museum and will soon be living accross the street. I'll have to visit.

The National Gallery of Art is pretty cool, they have the only Da Vinci painting in the Western Hemisphere and a lot of other cool paintings like Salvadore Dali's "Last Supper".

The National Museum of Natural History.

Mostly because of the Hope Diamond.

BLING BLING!!!!!!


Matt (or anyone else in DC) Have you ever been to Tudor Place? I am thinking of visiting there this summer at some point.

Senusret I 06-30-2004 03:14 PM

Anybody been to the Hermitage?

MattUMASSD 06-30-2004 03:42 PM

Never been to tudor place.

For homes of different people

Mount Vernon the estate of George Washington is an interesting place. If you are in the dc area go visit.

Arlington House - Pre Civil War Home of Robert E. Lee is also interesting to check out. His estate was turned into a Cemetery.

Fredrick Douglas House - This house is off the beaden (sp) path but also worth visiting.

There's a bike trail that goes from Georgetown down to Mt. Vernon that I've been dying to take down there. It's 40 miles round trip though, I don't know if I'm ready for that.

MattUMASSD 06-30-2004 04:13 PM

Yeah its intense....Why dont you do the part from Old town to to Mount Vernon, or do the Georgetown Rosslyn leg?

Well I haven't been to many museums. Unfortunate, I know. I've never been to NYC. One day I will.

I've been, several times to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto, and The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto. I've been to The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) museum in Saskatchewan and The Field Museum in Chicago. I've been to some other smaller ones like the Sesquicentennial museum in Toronto.

I guess out of the ones I've been to, my favourite would be the ROM and the Field Museum.
