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?

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)

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.

Went to a local museum today.

Pretty funny that looms are considered artifacts now



The bug taxonomy was super lit

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.
