Planet WORD. Not "Planet WORLD". Really, now.
Worst video ever!!
I love portraits and paintings also bright colored paintings and portraits which tell stories these inspired me to paint also.
I love the Smithsonian and the American Indian Museum both I visited several times and love. I also love the airplane museum which shows the history of flight and space. I love museums and naturally can spend hours in them. I have seen the hope Diamond pieces by Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. I would love to see the postal museum. I used to collect stamps as a child. I love Egyptian art too and anything colorful. I would love to your the Asian art museum. Locally I love our state museum. I love planetariums too. In Dc I love the green house which is like a living museum of plants. When my children were young I loved taking them to children’s museums and interacting. The spy museum would interest Thomas who is an officer and the dollhouse one you had on crime scene. We’re hoping to plan another trip to Washington DC. He said yesterday he wanted to contact our representative and make some plans to do so. I appreciate so much this video on the museums because I can not be there right now in person. I sometimes will but a book on the museums and artifacts and read the book at home or give one to my son and my daughter so they can enjoy it at home. You can purchase such books at the gift shops of the museum or check them out at your local library.
This is not the BEST museum list. Prob the worst.
The Obama museum..
I love the Smithsonian. I have visited since I was a child. One of my favorite areas are the Native American art. I was enchanted by Monet and by Vaughn Gogh.
Just came back from two days in DC. I had an awesome time exploring the National Mall and all the museums. I have to say, the Museum of American History took me by surprise. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as the others, but the "Entertainment Nation" exhibit was amazing! Priceless costumes and artifacts from American movies, music, sports, and TV. Awesome!
We need a DOLLHOUSE Museum BEST IN THE WORLD NOT A AFRIKKKKA PROPAGANDA MALL SCAR
Why didn’t you say what’s in the basement of the National African American history museum?
