Why do I like art museums now?
For a long time, I have harbored a dreadful secret: I found art museums dull, boring and not as exciting as the more interactive museums. If someone would suggest attending an art museum, I would casually offer an alternate idea. “Why don’t we go to the natural history museum?” And now, I find myself inviting […]
