I'm a fiend for museums. Every time I travel for work (which is thankfully alone most of the time), I find museums to go to. When I travel for leisure, I pretty much always find some museum to go to in between whatever else I'm doing, too.

I am particularly fond of contemporary art, and technology museums, closely followed by natural history museums.

My favorite museum of all time is Mass MoCa in North Adams, MA, USA. I go at least twice a year, even though it's a ~4 hour drive. I used to be a member at $250 a year, which also gave me ROAM reciprocal admission to tons of other museums, but money is tight these days and I had to give that up. There was a time when I was doing enough work travel that the money I saved via all the free admission to ROAM museums I got on the road was actually a net savings over the $250 membership!

Has anyone else been to Mass MoCa? We may have crossed paths!

What is your favorite museum? How often do you go? Are you a member?

I've been thinking about museums a bunch since I started planning my Art Basel Miami trip later this year... I'm trying to figure out how to bundle the Kennedy Space Center and Art Basel into one weeklong trip with minimal expense lol.

Not space related, but in Dallas the 5th floor museum (Kennedy/book depository) and Dallas Museum of Art are good.
