That rocks. Years ago I had an coworker from Iraq and we hit it off so every weekend we'd go to a new place (museum, history, etc) and try a new restaurant.

Unfortunately his wife was never able to integrate and became very depressed. They wound up moving back to Jordan and I haven't been to a museum since. It's nice to learn about stuff through someone else's perspective, I would have never gotten into it alone

I love Art Museums. When I'm in a new city, I always try to find a couple hours to hit the local museum. Some cities are great, while others have terrible art museums (Mobile, AL is the worst I've encountered). Even if I only have a short time, most museums have a map that highlights their best stuff, so you can do a quick run through, and peruse the masterpieces.

Just pick a museum, and Go!

I'm from Chicago and there's no shortage of incredible museums. There's even a leather museum...like...of the daddy variety. Couldn't be further from my interests but I still want to check it out just for fun
