Re: Do you go to Museums?
Museums are awesome but I haven't been in a long time.
We'll be spending lots of time in Toronto this summer and will hopefully hit up the ROM while we're there.
I just saw a commercial for that Terra Cotta Army. I think it's coming to Toronto soon. It looks wicked.
Also, the Bata Shoe Museum rocks! It's all SHOES!!!!!
Re: Do you go to Museums?
Wow...that's a moving exhibit? Seems like a whole lot of clay dudes to have to pack up and ship somewhere.
Re: Do you go to Museums?
I haven't been to one in a few years, but I'd go check out whatever new exhibit was at the Field Museum in Chicago before I was in the army. I still tend to check out the art museum and Shed Aquarium whenever I'm home.

They don't ship the whole army..no room! It was about 10 soldiers/generals, a horse, various artifacts like currency and weapons and what not. :)
Re: Do you go to Museums?
I went all the time in l.a. there's a few here in town, but I haven't gone to any of them yet. I think my favorite is either la brea0tar pits, or the other one in l.a. that has exhibits all the time that I don't remember the name of. there's a lot of great museums in l.a.
Re: Do you go to Museums?
oh. was just thinking of it.
another good exhibit to check out is the civil rights museum in memphis.
they actually turned the loraine motel where doctor king wa sshot and turne dit into a museum it's pretty informative to how the south was especially back during the civil right movement and before hand
and they even replicated the room doctor king stayed in to how it looked the day he was killed so you could see it through his eyes. the spot he was shot at is even marked wiht a red dot on the balcony.
its pretty moving.
Re: Do you go to Museums?
I was sick as shit when I went to the Smithsonian and I was SOOOO pissed because I waited my whole life to go there. What I saw was really cool, but in all honesty, I wanted to be snuggly in bed with a cup of tea.
Growing up in New York, I went to the Museum of Natural History every so often and that was always cool. Especially the big blue whale hanging from the rafters.

The only one I went to in L.A. was the Museum of Death.
Re: Do you go to Museums?
:/ I wish Atl wasn't so far away suddenly!
But no. Out here in the sticks there isn't but one Museum, occasional an exhibit comes through Western, but I'm out of the loop so I don't know about it anymore. I do go to alot of historical places out in the national part that are preserved, and find little antique bits on display at any given road-side stand. I miss museums sometimes! But I just have to look a bit harder to find treasure here.
