For some, museums are the most boring place on earth, but I LOVE THEM. When we went to NYC, D and I had a list of the top 5 things we absolutely wanted to do, and #1 was going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's sooooo big you really have to prioritize what continents / time periods you want to visit and even then, it's just room after room of exhibits and I'd go off course every two minutes. It's just SO hard to believe that thousands and thousands of years ago, someone carved these amazing statues, painted portraits, and wore the jewelry that is now protected by glass. It's also hard to believe that so many B.C. civilizations were so inventive, organized, and artistic. We went through ancient Greece and Egypt, to 19th century Europe, to Colonial America, to armor and weapons, and ancient Persia, etc. It's all fascinating.
