When did I become a museum lover? At a very young age, my grandfather had many of his paleontology finds in museums throughout western Kansas as well as the Field Museum in Chicago. He now has an entire room dedicated to his fossils at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. My mother also worked at a natural history museum when I was a young child, my uncles painted murals in many of these also - I love museums, and have visited many in my life…so far. I definitely have many to re-visit and discover.
I particularly love art and natural history museums. As a student, I studied art history, fine art and art education.
Most of the museums on this blog are definitely “akin” to the inspirations of my upbringing. Memories of my favorite museums and contact and map information will be forthcoming. Please share your experiences of these and other recommended museums and historical sites throughout the US and Europe.
