Museum Musing - On my way back from lunch, I was listening to NPR's Talk of the Nation: Science Friday report about the new Marian Koshland Museum of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. Sounds like they've got an unusal way of making visitors rethink their outlook on science and the world around them. Perhaps a good place to stop on my visit to DC in a few weeks?

And speaking of museums, last weekend while in Southern CA, Kevin and I visited the Museum of Television & Radio in Beverly Hills. It's an unusual place...very stark and wide open, without any exhibits. Mostly, it serves as an archive but also hosts live forums about current television shows in production. I think that one attending one of those events would be a lot more interesting than watching an old episode of Laverne and Shirley as most of the other visitors were doing. While they do have some screenings of clips on a particular topic, the current series of screenings, on gay images on TV seems like the poor man's version of a VH1 special.

Who knows, maybe this weekend will end up including a museum visit as well. What do you think, John...I hear that the California State Railroad Museum is exceptionally well done.
