Good morning!

Topic of the week
I am going to what should be a really fascinating curator tour at a museum tomorrow, and I'm looking at another visit to another museum in February.

Do you go to museums? Do you like going to museums? (Or exhibits, or art galleries, or anything else vaguely in that category?) What do you love about it? What is harder for you, or you wish museums did differently.

(And of course, any other topic you're interested in, also fair game.)

What I've been up to
It has been such a week at work, and with weather (I'm near Boston, and our weather on Sunday was snow, freezing rain, and sleet. Give me good honest snow over the latter two any day.) And then it was 55 yesterday, so basically it's all melted off.

Anyway, I'm exhausted, which is not so great because I have a bunch of things that need doing.

There are way more flavors than I ever expected.

Focused museums are awesome, by far the creepiest I've been to was, at the time at least, the only psychiatric museum in America, in St. Joseph, MO, which had been an asylum. The upstairs exhibits were really interesting and well put together. The basement, which you could also visit, was another story- heaps of old equipment in piles in a series of stuffy rooms. I have been in many, many cemeteries and churches and funeral homes, and not one of them felt as haunted as that basement. Yikes.
