Museums

So here's a list I've never made. The museums I've been to.

Deep breath.

I am only including museums, not zoos or aquariums, but that can get blurry. (I also am not including little exhibition spaces / visitor centers for attractions which are not obviously museums.) Nor do I include houses or buildings which are now museums (The Alamo, John Adams' home); I'm only interested in spaces that were built more or less with the intention of being a museum. I think it makes sense to do this by category. So let's start with the easy and obvious - art museums.

It is almost certainly incomplete. Here goes.
