[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't like visiting museums. It can be kind of frustrating when you google "Things to do in X" and the list is mainly museums, especially in European cities, so I typically run out of things to do and it's time to move on to somewhere else. I don't know what it is, maybe it's b/c I grew up in DC and had access to the amazing (and free) museums here that I became museum'd out. I visited Paris earlier this year and didn't bother with the Louvre and I had friends/family act shocked when I told them I didn't see the Mona Lisa. It doesn't interest me and I would rather wander around a new city on foot instead of being bored in a stuffy museum, with stuff I'm ultimately not all that interested in.

I feel like I'm in the minority of this. That said, I still love our Smithsonians and to me, it's just hard to top them -- like other cities have "Air and Space musuems" and "Natural History" museums and I don't bother. [/quote]

I can understand not liking museums, but not because the Smithsonians are great.  Most of them really aren't.  They are old school rooms with artifacts.[/quote]
