May 18 is International Museum Day.
“Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.”
As a certified museum nerd, I visit art and history museums whenever I get the chance, plus belong to the feeds of many museums around the world.
Am sure the smallest museum I've visited is the Serpent Mound State Memorial, in Peebles, Ohio: what a fantastic place!
The largest museum that my feet have been in would be The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City, which is ranked #4 on the list of largest museums in the world.
Have also visited #5: American Museum of Natural History, also in New York City, and #6, The British Museum, in London, UK.
Artist: William Merritt Chase (American, 1849–1916).
Subject: James Abbott McNeill Whistler (American, 1834–1903).
Metropolitan Museum of Art
The more unique museums that I've enjoyed so far:
There is always something new to see and to learn at the museum!

Henry Update:
*in a whisper*
*Henry has been eating steadily, as he only receives INABA Churu Meal Mousse Adult Wet Cat Food, Tuna Variety, and this is NOT an ad for the product.*
*Have found that he doesn't respond to the canned food that Da Boyz get, nor did he enjoy the fresh, ground turkey that The Hubby recently cooked, which should make Trout Talkin' Tabbies happy.*
*Do not want to type any of this out loud, 'cause ya know, everything can change in a heartbeat!*

Let's Hop!
You sure have visited a lot of museums all over the world! I have been to a few...
ReplyDeleteGood that Henry likes this new food he is offered. Our pups loved that too...teehee! (I had it for Pipo...)
Although I didn't list it, the Art Museum in Roswell, New Mexico was incredible! AND, it was air-conditioning with bathrooms, and a gift shop.
DeleteMuseums are fantastic and I remember a few my mother took me to when I was a child that were bizarre. Henry just has very selective taste!
ReplyDeleteOoh, am curious about bizarre museums! Do tell.
DeleteQueen Tama used to eat a lot of Inaba food, which is really good quality.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest museum being the Louvre in Paris, #1 has visited it multiple times. When she was a student in London in a previous millenium, the British Museum (#6) was just behind where she studied (The School of Oriental and African Studies) and she would often walk in the back door, through the galleries, and out the front door when going to lunch!
Purrs,
The Chans
That is SO COOL! The Louvre is definitely on my 'to visit' list.
DeleteLovely list of museums you have visited ~ so happy to hear Henry is eating well ~
ReplyDeleteHugs ^_^
Anything to keep him eating.
DeleteHubby and I never pass as museum. Great places to learn.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy Henry is eating. Purrayers continue.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
My Hubby just reminded me that I should have included The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio...do'h!
DeleteGot all four paws crossed and my eyes too. (Mom keeps laffing at how I look).
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, Katie!
DeleteIt's been a really long time since I've been to a museum but I always enjoy the good ones. More purrs for you sweet Henry, food is good!
ReplyDeleteMuseums can be a bit stiff and fusty, yet I always find something that I didn't know before.
DeleteYou have been to a lot of museums. I have been to the Museum of Natural History. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, there are so many that I've visited, and hope to visit again.
DeleteI haven't been to a museum since we left Missouri.. 2001. St. Louis Art Museum.
ReplyDeleteIn a whisper♥ Good news he is eating steadily. He is so lucky to be with you. I know that you would probably say you are the lucky one.
You don't like fresh turkey, Henry?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteDidn't like the ground turkey! That's a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteSerpent Mound is a cool place. I should visit more museums. Thank you for sharing and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteMuseums are fabulous! I’m generally up for going to a museum and there’s always more to learn.
