What museums have you been to?

[Fishmé]

Going to a museum today. Hex is super into museums, so anytime there is a new exhibit in the noco area, we try to go. Though, personally I've only seen the exhibits in noco, like the geology exhibit in Denver and ive never seen any outside the state. What kind of museums have yall been to?

The Denver nature and science museum is pretty great. I love their collection of rhodochrosite



It's my favorite mineral

There's a great glass museum a couple of towns over from where I live. They specialize in paperweights and millefiori, they've got lots of really cool stuff!

I'm a big fan of the V and A in London. It's got such a varied collection; I feel like I discover a new gallery every time I visit. (If you're visiting: be sure to see the cast courts and the Raphael cartoons. I also like the glass gallery, photography gallery, and rapid response collections. The jewellery gallery is popular.)

I also really like the Museum Speelklok in Utrecht. Mechanical music machines tickle two of my fancies, plus it's in a converted church. Well worth visiting if you're in the Netherlands.

I quite liked going to the hill aerospace museum in Utah. The museum recently underwent a renovation, which included the introduction of new aircraft exhibits. They recently added a U-2 spy plane and an f-22.

At the museum in Denver and it's got a bunch of cool space stuff and fossils. Looks like next month is on Cambodian history.

Right now they have a taxonomy exhibit about various wild animals. (Note: this is all synthetic, no beavers were harmed for this exhibit)

In my city I go to the MFA, Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Its so ili they got everything, Warhol to Mummey's, the Early American furniture rooms are like a re created room you can walk thru and its littleraly spongebobs house im not even kidding, if you dont belive me they even got garry with the harpsichords.

The Hill Aerospace Museum recently had an open cockpit day. I got to see the cockpits of various aircraft in the collection, and I greatly enjoyed the experience. Many would likely find such an experience claustrophobic, but I kind of like the idea of being contained in a small space with a whole bunch of buttons and wires everywhere. The SR-71 photos required waiting in line for over an hour, as it is a very popular aircraft.

General Dynamics F-111 "Aardvark"



Sr-71 Blackbird

The bug taxonomy was super lit

There was some other cool statues, pottary, and sculptures too





I really like this one. I got really excited that I could identify this a Mullen

There was some old stuff too




This truly massive painting was my favorite of the old stuff. The photo doesn't give it justice but this painting is like 10 feet tall by 18 feet wide.

There was some new stuff too
