Most of you focused on art museums, but I have to break it down by type:
Historical: My ultimate favorite is Greenfield Village, an outdoor museum of actual buildings that Henry Ford has moved to this location. A courthouse that Lincoln practiced law in, a couple old school houses, the Wright Brother's first bicycle store (where they invented their first plane), a plantation complete with slave quarters, a chapel, Stephen Foster's home, the birthplace of Henry Ford, numerous stores, part of Edison's Menlo Park. It's an amazing place.
Art: Art Institute in Chicago, the Detroit Institute of Arts has some excellent exhibitions, but not counting those, Chicago's is better. (haven't been to too many art museums).
Science: COSI in Toledo is just wonderful. It beats out the Detroit Science Center and the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum by leaps and bounds. I went to one in Charlotte, NC once that I think was called Discover. That one was pretty cool too, but I really love COSI.
