Seems like a Smithsonian is a must visit next time I'm State side

[KatherineJ]

Oh, I can’t say which one is “the best”. I’ll give a list of my favorites (so far) and not in any order:

The Getty (Los Angeles)

The Tate Museums (London)

The British Museum (London)

The Art Institute (Chicago)

The Hugh Lane (Dublin)

Museum of Welsh Life (St. Fagans/Cardiff)

The Smithsonian (various) (Washington)

The Henry Ford (Dearborn, MI)

As I said, there are a lot of fantastic museums, so this isn’t meant as a comprehensive list, just the ones that I really enjoy.

[CubaPirate]

Wow that's amazing

[KatherineJ]

@CubaPirate what is?

[CubaPirate]

That you've visited all of those

[CubaPirate]

That's if you actually have

[KatherineJ]

@CubaPirate I’ve been to all of those at least once. Obviously, I’ve been to others, but those are my favorites for whatever reason.

[CubaPirate]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[KatherineJ]

@CubaPirate of course! I wish there were more of these questions on here.

My favorite will alwaysbe the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. ✈

[In no particular order]: The Louver, The Getty, The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (I haven't visited the new museum which was then still under construction), Simon Fraser, The US Air Force Museum and the US Naval Aviation Museums, The Denver Museum of Art where I viewed Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs exhibit.

I'm just just scratching the surface. I love museums.

The Smithsonian was awesome. I was only ten when I went there but I saw john Glenn's space capsule and some bandages that had the blood of John Wilkes Booth on them. The Spirit of St louis was suspended from the ceiling. I want to go back someday.

It wasn’t the museum per se. It was the “Bodies Revealed” exhibit at a local museum. Absolutely fascinating!
I also saw an incredible exhibit displaying dinosaurs and other ancient and extinct animals at the same museum. I didn’t luv some of the speculative displays, but seeing the “bones” and models in actual size is exhilarating if you have any imagination at all!

Best museum... Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, both the main museum on The Mall and its auxiliary museum out at Dulles Airport. Fantastic exhibits and all kinds of aircraft from history.

Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Not best but most moving and hole filling place ever. And, I was surprised to see how interesting was the Ark shaped Bible Museum... it was interactive.

I really loved the Museum of Natural History in New York

[JustinTheGreat]

And I agree with the other comments that The Smithsonian was also great, but I was young so I don’t remember much of it

[Emiliamazing]

The Smithsonian or the Louvre

[jengeorge26]

Smithsonian great also, but couldn’t see it all in one day.

[Emiliamazing]

@jengeorge26 definitely takes a week or more as an adult. I spent some of my youth in the DC area

The Louvre, Paris 🇫🇷 France
