    Dancing Chocobo Museums

    Hux and I went to a couple of museums today. One of them was a computer museum (one of three dedicated ones in the world, apparently), and they had all sorts of neat stuff like parts from the actual ENIAC, an Apple I signed by Woz, a Computer Space arcade machine, etc. It was pretty great.

    What are some neat museums that you have been to?

    I recently went to the musical instrument museum and it was so cool! I was there all day and still didn't see everything.

    I've been trying to go to the Mütter Museum for a while now, but plans keep falling through.

    California has a computer museum in Silicon Valley. BJ went to it as a kid and is still infatuated with it.

    I've always liked science museums best. I remember having such a great time at the kids' science museum in Las Vegas.

    I did a tour of all the free museums in Manchester last year. Took bloody ages, but it was great fun.

    I haven't been to a museum in ages, and I am constantly trying to persuade my brother to go with me. I love museums, and I can easily spend an entire day just lurking about.

    Been to the Field Museum in Chicago as well as the Museum of Science and Industry. Both are pretty cool. As a matter of fact, my Grandma used to take me to the Science and Industry one on an almost weekly basis when I was a very small child.

    I really want to go to the Field Museum. I'm gonna look around and see if there are any ghouls there feasting on the professors.

    I love museums but I haven't been to many. Which is boo and lame.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Alright so a lot of you guys have been to more baller museums than I have. I'm slightly jealous, but that's okay! When I was a little kid I used to visit the Science Center in Seattle quite a bit, and that place was GREAT

    I went to this place: http://www.crimethroughtime.com/

    It's an old jail converted to a museum that is basically a shrine to crime and hate. It's real low budget and its basically magazines and newspapers and pictures of the holocaust/murders taped to all the walls. There are some cool personalised art and letters from Charles Bronson to the owner tho.
