Museums are neat.
See All Lists
1. Tate Modern
TATE ROCKS!
This is by far, the all-time best art museum I have ever been to in my entire life, ever! And I've seen my fair share of art museums.
The Tate is a wonderful old power station with an iconic chimney rising over the Thames. Walking into…More »
2. The Getty Center
Los Angeles, CA 90049
(310) 440-7300
Categories:
Museums,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Brentwood
STUNNING! What's not to love about the Getty? You park at the base of the hill (pay $10- worth every penny), take the tram up to the peak of the hill and BAM! it just hits you! I don't think my words will do it justice so just take a gamble and…More »
3. Museum of Modern Art
If you like modern art, I dare to say this is one of the best modern art museums in the whole wide world! (I've been to quite a lot and the only one better is the Tate Modern in London.)
I love that it's located so close to all the great NYC shopping…More »
4. The Cloisters
New York, NY 10040
(212) 923-3700
Category:
Museums
Neighbourhood: Washington Heights
Wow, I've been to NYC about 7 times and have never even heard of the cloisters until my last trip! What a rare treat in this crazy hustle bustle of a city!!! I actually love the crazy pace of NY but the Cloisters were a welcome change.
If you can…More »
5. Graceland Mansion
Don't be cruel... who needs to be an Elvis fan to appreciate Graceland?! It's straight out of American history and if you have any interest whatsoever in music or American pop culture you must see Graceland! Intriguing, inspirational, insightful,…More »
6. Nasher Sculpture Center
Dallas, TX 75201
(214) 242-5100
Categories:
Art Galleries,
Museums
Neighbourhoods: Arts District, Downtown
The Nasher was designed by one of the most well-known architects of our time, Renzo Piano. It's a beautiful sculpture in itself. I would recommend asking one of the curators for a brief architectural overview. Most of the exhibits inside are…More »
7. City Museum
HUH?! WOW!
I don't think this place classifies as a museum exactly- it should be listed under amusement. The place is endlessly wonderful... interesting things to see at every turn, every nook and cranny. A vast network of crawl spaces only make up a…More »
8. National Portrait Gallery
London WC2H 0HE
UK
+44 20 7306 0055
Categories:

Neighbourhood: Strand
PORTRAITS?! A whole museum full of classical, stuffy portraits? Seriously, what could be more boring? Maybe my grandma would like it.
That's exactly what I thought before going to the NPG. I waited like 5 months after I moved to London and after I…More »
9. Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
Finally! DFW has some pretty awesome architecture by world-famous architects! This place, designed by the brilliant Tadao Ando, is a must-see for any architecture fan or modern art lover. The beautifully finished concrete is in keeping with all of…More »
10. Kimbell Art Museum
Yes, it's true...the Kimball is always packed, but it's nothing the new addition by Renzo Piano can't handle. The existing building itself is absolutely fabulous! Louis Kahn's vaulted ceilings are one of a kind- they have an integral daylighting…More »
11. The Menil Collection
I think the best part of the Menil is the building itself. Set in a neighborhood in Houston surrounded by small, modest houses, the architect, Renzo Piano, did an excellent job of blending the building into its setting. If you enjoy architecture…More »
12. The Rothko Chapel
You either get it or you don't. If you are the type of person who finds the negative in everything, or thinks modern art is a joke, or thinks finding inner peace is for hippy weirdos, please don't come here and ruin the experience for everyone else…More »
13. The British Museum
Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day...
NO! Wait! Don't go away Mr. Rain. Rainy days are perfect for exploring colossal museums such as the British Museum. And we all know there are plenty of rainy days in London.
The British Museum is probably…More »
14. Whitechapel Art Gallery
London E1 7QX
UK
+44 20 7522 7888
Category:
Museums
Neighbourhood: Shoreditch
This little gem is one of the lesser known of the wonderful collection of London museums. It may be more appropriately described as a modern art gallery, as it is relatively small and intimate. You will not find it on the tourist circuit which is why…More »
15. Natural History Museum
Yawn. Dusty stuffed animals behind glass bore me. Dinosaurs don't really do that much for me either. I'm sure this kind of stuff interests many people but if you're anything like me skip the taxidermied stuff and head straight for the area where…More »
16. Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Los Angeles, CA 90036

Neighbourhood: Mid-City West
I'm rating the LACMA purely on its modern art exhibits, building, and gift shop alone... I didn't have enough time on my trip to LA to see the whole museum and my heart lies with modern art so that is what I saw!
The building as not as impressive as…More »
17. Pulitzer Foundation For the Arts
Saint Louis, MO 63108
(314) 754-1850
Categories:
Art Galleries,
Museums
Neighbourhood: Covenant Blu/Grand Ctr.
As far as buildings go, this one is a real gem! I've seen a handful of Ando buildings and this one pretty much holds up next to the others. I would imagine, for non-architects, it may be hard to see the beauty in a concrete structure. But I would…More »
18. The Hall of State at Fair Park
Dallas, TX 75334
Categories:
Museums,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: South Dallas
I was biking through a completely desolate Fair Park when I came upon this gem! WOW, absolutely gorgeous building from the 1930s- true Art Deco style! The building is a basically a building with a story- built for the '36 Exposition to celebrate…More »
19. Saint Louis Art Museum
Saint Louis, MO 63110
(314) 721-0072
Categories:
Museums,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Forest Park
I've been to a lot of museums and this one is a real snoozer! I hate to say it, I really do! Classical art is great and all, but I wish they had a variety of exhibits. Even the African tribal cloths were a bit of a bore! The building is massive and…More »
20. Museum of Anthropology at UBC
On our recent trip to Vancouver, my beau and I struggled to find a few tourist activities. Most other stops on the trip had plenty of "First Nations" memorabilia but no real information on the "First Nations" people. Luckily, we found the Museum of…More »
