Holy smokes! WHAT A GEM! I am so glad I embarked on this museum-visiting new year’s resolution adventure, because without it, I may have gone another 3 decades without having visited this awesome museum. I’ve lived in the DC area for most of my life, and yet, I can’t recall a single time that I … More Museum Review: National Postal Museum
I was in Leesburg recently for a wedding and had some time to kill. I’ve been in/through Leesburg dozens of times in my life, usually on my way to/from Harpers Ferry or other locations NW of the city, and I’ve been in/through Loudon County more times than I could count being that I grew up … More Museum Review: Loudon Museum
I was sitting in my church parking lot celebrating Octoberfest one sunny afternoon when a friend asked me how my museum -visiting New Year’s Resolution was going. “Oof, not well!” I admitted with shame. I started the year so strong, but hadn’t visiting a museum in a few months, dropping me way behind my goal. … More Museum Review: Josiah Henson Museum
Full disclosure: I visited this museum in bad faith (faith! get it? harharhar.I’msorry.) When I came up with my idea to visit as many museums as possible this year, that very much included the idea of pushing my own boundaries by going to see museums that I did not expect to enjoy. Museums that to … More Museum Review: Museum of the Bible
I was in Toronto last weekend, and had a little bit of free time to potentially cram in a museum visit for my 2024 Museum Visit resolution. Obviously, the most important museum in Toronto is the Hockey Hall of Fame, but I saw that the last time I was in town. Next up would be … More Museum Review: Museum of Illusions Toronto
We’re halfway through the year, and when I took stock of my progress on my new years’ resolutions, I had mixed results. I’ve been right on track with visiting and reviewing enough museum for my “visit and review museums” resolution, but I noticed that I’d barely made it to any of the museums that I … More Museum Review: The National Building Museum
This is going to be a mini-review for a mini-museum. I was just thinking, “Oh man, I haven’t been to a museum in a while, which means I’m slacking on my new year’s resolution to visit more museums!” I was thinking of what I might be able to cram in sometime soon, but honestly wasn’t … More Museum Review: Gaithersburg Community Museum
Okay, this one is a bit of a cheat. One of my new years’ resolutions was to visit (and hopefully write-up reviews about) as many museum as possible (you know, without getting weirdly obsessive about it.) Last week I visited the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (kind of), and I’m gonna go ahead and review it … More Museum Review: Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
I did a brief trip across the pond recently, and managed to squeeze in a whopping 3 London museums in under 2 days! I already covered day one’s museums, but now I finally have time to describe the 3rd and final London museum: Sir John Soane’s Museum! We picked this museum for our last morning in … More Museum Review: Sir John Soane’s Museum
I did a brief trip across the pond this past week, and managed to squeeze in a whopping 3 London museums in under 2 days! After a fascinating visit to the Churchill War Rooms and a nice scenic walk along the Thames, we headed back indoor for museum #2: The London Transport Museum! This place … More Museum Review: London Transport Museum
