Went to the Nelson Atkins Museum of art, which is in Kansas City Missouri, on Saturday. I was in a section I dont normally go to, one of the items was a two foot by two foot section of a wall from Mexico. It had Mayan symbols chisled into it, first thing I though of when I saw it was "I know what those are". The piece still had some of the original paint on it as well. Had I had a camera I could have taken a picture of it.

Wel said Jim.
The last museum I went to was the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art)... by the time I left I had been poked, prodded, shaken, pushed and violated. Yep, those installations really are 'interactive'.
On a lighter note, an exhibit exploring the intricacies of the human body, which is set to tour the world just started here in Sydney. It features quite a few reserved REAL human bodies (ones donated to science) so you can see what someone looks like cut up into 148 slices. Need I say more, it looks terribly interesting.
although the real deal are the historical exhibits that Jim speaks of. Ever since Pandora, the Mayan civilisation has interested me... not to mention giving me the ability to answer many historical Trivial Pursuit questions that nobody else knows.
-Cub. =o)

I've lived in a small town called Godalming for nearly 20 years. I've moved away, but my Mum still lives there and I go down there at least once a month.
It's a small town with about 10,000 people, but it has it's own museum which is even free to enter. Apparently it's the first place in England that had electric street lighting. I'm ashamed to say I've still never been in to have a look.
I really need to do it one day. Maybe next time I'm in town. I'm bound to be missing something really special.
