The Louvre is a way to walk back through time and gain perspective on the present. The paintings, sculptures, and jewelry exhibits provide examples of the place that the vibrant French society has held in Occidental culture. When you visit, you'll forget your place, the time, and yourself. It's a perfect place to forget your problems, hang out with friends and family, and get inspired. from quesea

    I *almost* got to go here when I was in NYC. I ended up doing the Guggenheim instead. That happened because I was carrying a drink at the moment when I walked up to it. I love their website! Especially the timelines. I was just in there using them earlier today. from kmeelah - liked from boxercab's entry

    Just call it Gemini...this museum has two "personalities" The West wing is full of historical, old paintings...the East wing has newer, modern artwork and is my personal favorites with works by M.C. Escher and Henri Matisste...both wings are have lovely artwork! Go down low and you'll find a walkway between the two wings, flanked by a cafeteria and gift shop...enjoy! :) from care4pets - liked from rob's entry

    If you like airplanes and space, then this one's for you...went here on a ton of school field trips! Oh, and check out the IMAX theatre while you're there...usually have some unique shows playing! from care4pets - liked from icygirl's entry

    I've only seen a portion of the castle, but it's definitely magnificent. The pool is phenomenal! from runnerchiq - liked from tioga's entry

    Visiting this museum is one of the most powerful experiences. I think seeing all of the shoes really got to me the most. Just knowing that each pair represented a life lost. from ahanneken - liked from icygirl's entry

    Went for the King Tut exhibit. Pretty good - a little pricey. But on free thing worth checking out is the view deck - spectacular view. from aindrila

    One of the better modern art museums. We went there when the huge Anish Kapoor horn was installed. It was quite impressive. from arvind

    Another fantastic museum dedicated to design. I went to manolo blahnik exhibition there. It was so much fun to see all those great blahniks :) from jennylin

    Atlanta GA may not be the first place you think of for world class culture but the High is definitely a fantastic experience for any mortal. The building is worth a visit in and of itself, but know that you'll find a variety of art that's going to please everyone. If you're local you must become a member and visit often. Sunday afternoons are packed so plan weekens carefully. Check the web site high.org for time and shows and remember that Mondays are a no-go. from rbarnes

    One of the most iconic art museums in the world, The Art Institute of Chicago is home to many of the most famous works of art ever created. Known for its second-to-none impressionist collection, be sure and stop by next time you're in Chicago. from marccobb

    best science museum ever. totally hands-on and huge. this is the way to get a kid hooked on science from pixeljedi

    Don't throw it away, give it away! Freecycle is a grass roots organization that helps your unwanted items find a new home and helps you hook up with what you need. It is how I got my dishwasher and helped a young couple furnish their entire apartment. My old windows are now cold frames in a community garden. from beanfair

    This is one of the biggest museums I have visited. Located in London, the building itself is already an architectural marvel to look at. There are milions of specimens inside from insects, plants, animals, etc. There are also interactive sections where videos of in-house scientists explain the process of collecting specimens etc. But the most impressive collections I should say are those of the dinosaurs' bones, which reminds me of Ben Stiller's movie Night at the Museum. from quick24

    Georgia O Keeffe has a way of making flowers truly stand out. Each time I see one of her flower paintings I instantly recognize it as hers. What talent! from evelynsaenz

    Every year, this is the single best month in amateur sports. Upsets, brackets, cheering. What's better? from hawkinsw

    Love hanging out at this park on a sunny day.. with friends or without... spending a few hours here makes you fall in love with the city. from kinstah
