This International Museums Day I'm reflecting on my memories of spending time with loved ones in and around museums.
From the ROM to Vizcaya to the Science Museum of Minnesota, my life has been filled with museum fun!
There are all sorts of new research reports about the importance of art and culture in building healthy communities. For me museums are are a place where I can connect with my self, my family, my community and the world around me both near and far across the continuum of time and space.
A museum visit provides a variation in my daily routine, learn something new, or see something from a different perspective.
Most museums offer specialized programming, educational experiences and art activities throughout the year in addition to their permanent facilities and collections.
