When was the last time you went to a museum, you uncultured slug?

[Prison Mike]

last summer at the Franklin Institute, I think.

Spoons and I have taken some really fun trips to the museums in DC...I think the last time we went was last summer.

Went to Shedd Aquarium for the first time in a few years yesterday due to ditching work from the snow.

Let's just hope none of your co-workers or supervisor read this page.

Doubtful, they're not that cool.

Yeah, I liked that place. They have Pacific White-Sided dolphins instead of the usual Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins that are all over the place down here (both in aquariums and in the wild).

Last museum I went to was the Little White House in Warm Springs just before Christmas. A week earlier I re-visited one of my favorite museums, the St. Augustine Pirate and Treasure Museum. Best pirate museum I've been to.

I go to museums and historic sites rather frequently.

I used to work at a museum in the gift shop.

I went to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences last winter.

If anyone lives in North Carolina or is travelling, I would recommend the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. Small, but it is the depository for the artifacts from the Queen Anne's Revenge, which was wrecked near Beaufort Inlet. It is the best place anywhere for Blackbeard stuff.

I volunteered at a museum for a few months last year. I had to quit because I lived an hour away and couldnt afford the gas money. I have a degree in Library and Information Science, which means I can work in a museum. Unfortunately the market is saturated with people that have my degree and no one is hiring.

October, I went to the New York museum of modern art and the American natural history museum, while I was in Manhattan for Comic Con...

Just last weekend, I visited the World Museum in Rotterdam. The permanent collection was all right, but most interesting was the exhibition they have right now on royal jewellery and religious artifacts from the old Javanese kingdoms.

I used to work as a cleaner (!) at the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam, which was pretty neat. They actually allowed you to sometimes walk around the museum for a bit without having to pay the entrance fee.

Our museums in Amsterdam are a huge tourist draw and I'm happy about that, but they're all boring as **** to me. I've never been a fan of painted art.

Really?! I've lived in NC my whole life and have never heard about the Maritime Museum. Well, I'm definitely going now that I have heard of it!

I'm afraid I haven't had time to visit a museum for a while, but this spring, I'll be going to Washington D.C., and should be able to make up for it. I haven't been to the various Smitsonian museums and while, and am planning on visiting the Udvar-Hazy Center for the first time.

 

[Spitfire]

I went to a few museums when visiting Holland last year. I also went to an exhibition of sketches by Leonardo Da Vinci. His engineering designs were fascinating and his anatomical sketches were beautiful (but I was interested to learn they were often inaccurate).

 

[The Endless]

Me and the missus went to the Natural History Museum in London last summer. And the London Dungeon.

We also went to the sex museum in Amsterdam in November. Strange place that is.

The exhibit only opened in 2011, and it looks like they just opened up an expansion last month according the website. That's probably why you've never heard of it. I toured around North Carolina a bit a year ago (I was at the museum on the anniversary of Blackbeard's death by just pure coincidence) and Beaufort was one of the places I visited. I also went to Fort Fisher (site of the largest naval bombardment in history up to that point, it is the battle that the Cabinet are all sitting around waiting for the results of in the Spielberg film Lincoln), Cape Fear, the USS North Carolina, Fort Raleigh (site of the famous Roanoke lost colony), and the Wright Brothers National Monument and Museum at Kill Devil Hills.

I want to go back and visit Ocracoke, where Blackbeard's final battle took place.

Last time I was at the art museum was in 2013 for a program on sequential art and comic books but I was at the natural history museum a few months ago for a kids birthday party.

At the end of January I went to the Science Center in Los Angeles to see the Pompeii Exibit, while there I saw The Hubble IMAX and the Space Shuttle Endeavour, that was a good day! When I can I love to go to the Getty and the Griffith Observatory as well.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Last week, I discovered a small museum in my area, that displays various fermented beverages in ornate glass bottles representing various years past. In fact, through a simple transaction you can even purchase some of these artifacts to display in your own home. I plan to go there again tomorrow, at around 10 am when it opens.

I toured museums last summer.

And sampled their products.

And by "museum", I mean winery.

Their objects are of a deep cultural importance to me.

2 years ago. I went to an Art Museum. Since I was a student I got in for Free.

Some of the Modern Art was complete crap. They devoted an entire room to several painting/drawings that were drawn/painted by a two year old. Apparently they gave the two year old giant canvas and had him paint and draw all over them. It must have taken no more than 5 minutes. It looked terrible.

 

[Tempest]

Last year I went to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. I also went to the Art Museum here in Fort Wayne.

 

[Immortalfire]

Back in the summer, I toured the museum and first lighthouse in Georgia.

I live down the road from melbourne museum so quite recently
