Last week's first post for my new Get out of the House column was dedicated to a rather ambitious and adventurous topic: Winter Camping. While I personally love the stillness and peace (and excuse to eat large amounts of S'mores) that come with gearing up and enjoying cold-weather hiking, I know it's not for everyone. So this week I thought I'd tackle something a little simpler and warmer: Museum Days!
Almost anywhere you live, there's a gallery or museum near you. So what if it's not the Met? (BTW, this history of their badges is very cool.) Some of the best museums are the ones that cater to local eccentricities, personal collections and celebrations of the weird and wonderful. So today I thought I'd focus on ideas for getting out of the house, staying warm and being inspired by a trip to your local museum. I'll share links for finding great (and unexpected) museums near you, tips for what to do and what to bring (the full shopping list is after the jump!) and how to expand your trip into a full museum day with friends or a solo trip. Happy museum-going! xo, grace
*In the spirit of really committing to getting out of the house, I'd love to buy museum tickets for you and a friend! Just leave a comment in the comment section below about what museum you'd like to visit in your town and why. I'll pick my favorite comment next Wednesday and pay for your tickets to the museum!
The full post continues after the jump . . .
As much as I love design, I'm not actually a huge fan of most big museums. They tend to feel impersonal and cold, so I'm always trying to find great small museums to visit. Whether you're looking for something large and all-encompassing or just want to find something quirky and cool in your area, here are some great places to start.
My Top 10 Favorite Museums:
- The Natural History Museum (NYC)
- The Wagner Free Institute of Science (Philadelphia)
- American Visionary Art Museum (Baltimore)
- Tenement Museum (NYC)
- Museum of Contemporary Craft (Portland, OR)
- The Philip Johnson Glass House (CT)
- Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum (Virginia)
- Noguchi Museum (NYC)
- The Cloisters (NYC)
- Neon Museum and Graveyard (NV)

Aside from the obvious viewing of interesting/beautiful/obscure/strange objects and art, a museum day, for me anyway, is about tying in related activities that create one big fun package. Here's an example:
Artist Afternoon:
- Pick a museum and theme (e.g., the Met, Impressionists).
- Plan a meal option based on that choice. (For the Impressionists, how about a French bistro brunch?)
- Bring activities to match. (For the Impressionists, you could bring portable watercolor kits and a notepad to use inside the museum.)
- Based on your findings at the museum, plan an extra activity. (Inspired by Monet's Water Lilies, you could check out a local garden or plant nursery to see what inspired those paintings.)
- Document your day with photos and put them in a scrapbook, using digital frame borders so it feels like a tiny museum.
Two tips our whole team agrees on: Choose one exhibition to focus on at bigger museums. When a museum is SO big, it's easy to glaze over and get overwhelmed by all the art. So pick one area (e.g., Egyptian art) and really take your time and focus on it. Next, try to go on a weekday morning if you can. The traffic is slower, and you have a better chance of getting time and space to stop, photograph and draw if you want to.
A student tip from Max: If you go to the museum's information desk and bring your student ID, you can often get a discount or a free ticket, even if it isn't advertised. It never hurts to ask!

I love to bring a few things with me to museums because I get bored easily. Really easily. You'll of course want to check your specific museum's list of do's and don'ts for their policies on everything, but in general, I like to bring:
- A lightweight bag, shoes and a sweater: Even the lightest bags and accessories feel like they weigh a ton after walking around all day. Lighten the load, and your feet (and shoulders) will thank you later in the day.
- Drawing tools and paper: I love being able to sit down and right notes or sketch out pictures and ideas inspired by what I'm seeing.
- Portable watercolors: I'm not much of an artist, but I love to put down simple color palettes that are inspired by the paintings I see. Sometimes cameras don't get the color balance right, and it's nice to jot down something on your own.
- Camera: Not all museums allow photography, so please follow any rules listed at the museum.
- Museum apps: These days, many museums have cool free apps that you can download on your phone to use while you walk around. Check your local museum to see what they offer.
- A small treat budget: I'll allocate a small amount ($20) to spend on a memento to bring home. I cheesily love little mementos from museums, even if it's something fun like Astronaut Ice Cream.
Image above: 1. Camera Strap, $85 | 2. Dupatta Nara Scarf, $188 | 3. Watercolor Postcards with Kit, $18 | 4. Travel Watercolor Set, $22 | 5. Watercolor Postcards, $3.99 | 6. Moleskine Sketchbook, $11.17 | 7 . Watercolor Brush Set, $14.99 | 8. General's Charcoal Pencils (72-pack), $60.25 | 9. Bookhou Tote, $88 | 10. Oil Pastels, $6.95
Every museum has different policies when it comes to photography, touching, proximity to artwork, etc., so please be sure to check those guidelines before you arrive.
Here are some other good karma suggestions to keep in mind that will help everyone at the museum enjoy their time:
- Take your time and move on. Everyone wants a chance to see a particular painting, so try not to stand in front of something too long before giving someone else a chance to look. You can always set up away from the artwork at a different angle if you want to draw it, or circle back around again for another look.
- Keep voices and headphones at a reasonable level. In general, it seems like most people want to have a peaceful experience in museums. So yelling, loud laughing and blasting music or audio tours on headphones aren't very helpful.
- Keep an eye on small children. I think all children should have the chance to enjoy museums, but it's a big help if parents can hold their hands or keep a close eye on them. I'll never forget getting bumped into a sculpture at the MET by a little kid who was running around like crazy. His parents just shrugged it off, and I got a stern word from the museum guard. (A lot of museums have amazing museum educators that specialize in showing children artwork. Take advantage of those programs if they're in your area; they're fantastic.)
- Take cellphone calls outside. Enough said.
- If you're moving in a large group, try to break up into small subgroups so you're not blocking doorways and other people's viewing experience.
How wonderful! We have a bunch of great museums here in the Twin Cities- I'm so thankful for that, because winter lasts forever!
I love the reference to astronaut ice cream, as a child I remember trying some at a museum- such great memories.
If I were to visit a museum here in St. Paul, I would have to choose the Science Museum of Minnesota. It's fabulous and they always have something great for the kids, which my young son would love. A matter of fact last time we attempted to visit the Science Museum there was s huge sleep over going on… Really should have checked up on special events before venturing over!
I'd love to spend a day at the Science Museum of Minnesota with my boyfriend. It's probably the most jam-packed museum in the city, which isn't always the best thing, but it makes for hours of entertainment. We both very much enjoy wandering the interior maze of curated collections and it's a great idea to beat the winter blues. I'm so glad I read your post this morning.
So happy you are encouraging folks to get out to museums! As someone who has worked in museums my entire adult life, this is really exciting to me. I've been meaning to get up to the Milwaukee Art Museum again. I love its moveable wings, but I've never seen them activated in person.
Although, I would like to point out that watercolors or oil pastels in a museum are not going to fly. Many museums have rules that people can only sketch in galleries by requesting permission, and I've never heard of one that allowed anything other than sketching with pencils. It's just too big of a risk for a museum to take to allow paint into into its galleries, even if you have the best of intentions.
I'd love to visit the brand new Museum of Math (MoMath!) in NYC: http://momath.org/ I've heard great things about it – supposedly it makes math beautiful and fun and interactive.
My sister is coming to visit next week from Seattle and the Tenement Museum was on my list of places to possibly take her. I also love The Frick Collection in NYC…have you been?
I'm planning on taking my nieces and nephew to the Museum of Natural History when they visit next month–they are very excited to see dinosaurs on their first visit to NYC!
I love that picture of the wagner! I've lived in philadelphia for over eight years and it has been on my list for awhile, so I pick the wagner (although the new barnes is a close second). minerals! cherry wood! a saber-toothed tiger! a museum is just the kind of thing that might get me out of my february funk.
I would love to take my husband to Atlanta's High Museum of Art to see the new Frida + Diego exhibit! He keeps begging me to go since he loves both of their art so much. With over 120 pieces – it's sure to be incredible!
It's cool of you to offer to buy tickets for a winning comment, but my favorite museum is actually free. :) Maybe many others are as well, which is another reason to check one out TODAY. The Birmingham Museum of Art has a beautiful collection. My favorite piece is an American masterpiece by Alfred Bierstadt (Looking Down Yosemite Valley, California), but the most rewarding part of any visit is that I can walk through Asia, Africa, and Europe all in one day. Talk about getting out of the house!!
Thanks for the post and the inspiration. If you are in Chicago and looking for a small off beat museum I highly recommend Intuit, http://www.art.org/, they feature outsider art and have some amazing exhibitions.
I love this idea! I haven't been to the Museum of Comtemporary Craft in a while. I must go back! We are alway looking for rainy day activities and this would be perfect.
As a museum professional I am so happy to see this post today! Museums are a great place to visit on your own or in a group.
FYI: not all museums will allow you to use paint or pens in the gallery, however many have educational work rooms where you can use those materials. Your safest bet for sketching in the galleries would be pencils and paper.
I'd love to go to the Frist in Nashville. They had an exhibit on German Expressionism that I'm so sad I missed, and now they have an exhibit on Rembrandt and the Golden Age I'm determined not to miss!
In June my father and I are headed to Sweden. I want to visit Skansen and would love tickets. I'll document our experience through photos and sketchs and share with Design Sponge readers. Thanks!
Actually look carefully at the admission pricing at the museums. Many, including the Met in NYC, are suggested donations. You can walk into the Met for free. Personally I recommend giving based on your frequency of visits. If it's very occasional, give as much as you can, if you are there weekly you can feel better about giving a couple of dollars.
I don't know if this will count, but my family is planning a trip to NY in March and we have two kids under 3. We would love to take them to a museum in the city and are getting excited about the Children's Museum of Manhattan and the New York City Fire Museum. Our son is wild about fire engines and we plan to stop by while we are in town for the weekend.
hi guys
re: paint in museums, i mentioned that people should check the rules for a reason- i know not every place allows that ;)
a lot of museums allow painting on separate days and times if you ask for information. it just depends on the place and time :)
My kids and I LOVE the dinosaurs at the Science Museum of Minnesota. They could spend hours looking at the fossils, reading the dinosaur books and climbing into and out of the brachiosaur stomach model. And, honestly, their mommy never grew out of her love for dinosaurs, either. :-)
I just moved to Georgia and I'm dying to visit the High Museum in Atlanta! Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are currently the featured exhibit. Frida is such an inspirational, strong female artist I am dying to see some of her work up close!
My fiancé, son and I will be going to The Houston Museum of Natural Science next weekend. My son wanted to go for his birthday and visit the paleontology exhibit. I love that he is so excited about learning.
I love the Isabella Stuart Garden Museum in Boston. Her collections never fail to take me to a different time and place and I love getting lost there. Its a must do on a dreary winter day.
I cannot describe how much I love museums! In every bio we write about our design studio, we list ourselves as museum-junkies! Museums are travelling without leaving town. It's a moment to pause, gain exposure, and perspective, all within a short bus ride. I'd LOVE a museum trip right now, especially for my husband. We are both product designers- and he is currently working in a design job that is less than creatively fulfilling. He could really use a little inspirational pick-me up, and a museum trip would SURELY be the ticket!
I would love to take my husband to the Musical Instrument Museum here in Phoenix, AZ. My husband is a musician, so I know he would be so fascinated, and would swoon over their extensive vintage guitar collection! Music has always been a hugely important part of our relationship; we love to share new and favorite music with each other, go to lots of concerts together, etc. This would be a fun new musical experience for us to share!
Tony Bennett even claimed this was his favorite museum in the world! I have to check it out :)
Skidding to a halt to stand transfixed by a work of art is a treasured moment!
Send me into the San Francisco Modern Art Museum and I will find that moment,pencil in hand. To go with a friend even better,we can bounce off each others reactions and start an illuminating or laughter producing dialogue.
What a fun giveaway! I would love to take my son to the Grand Rapids Public Museum. He's dying to see the Titanic exhibit while it's there.
Great post! Living in Atlanta, I love the High (The Diego and Frida show is amazing!), but my favorite museums are in DC and Toronto. You can't beat all of the free museums on the Mall (National Gallery and the Hirshhorn, especially), but my favorite is the Phillips Collection. It's a beautiful space!
Growing up in Buffalo, we would go to the Ontario Science Centre every year. Haven't been in a long time, but I have such fond memories of that place–it was the first museum I went to with interactive exhibits!
I'd love to go to the AVAM in Baltimore. My husband and I went once very early on in our marriage, and I have such fond memories of the conversation and creativity that the works there stimulated.
I always take my watercolors along. Even if the main galleries don't allow for watercolor ( my colored pencils are a backup) , there are courtyards and open spaces that allow it. Museums are great fun to sketch at. And relatively easy: your subjects don't ( usually) walk away!
this is the best giveaway idea! i want to go to mass moca (the massachusetts museum of contemporary art). i find contemporary art both challenging + awesome, and i've never been to the moca before!
I would love to go to the Atlanta History Center to see the Slavery at Jefferson's Monticello exhibit. TJ is a fascinating man, full of contradictions. It is interesting to me the man how wrote "all men are created equal" kept slaves until he died.
I would love to visit the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science here in Dallas. I keep talking myself out of visiting because of the cost and hassle, but I have heard wonderful things! I would love to go. Thanks!
We are unveiling our Danish Modern exhibition on April 6 at The Danish Immigrant Museum in Iowa. Mid-century modern lovers rejoice!
I would LOVE to visit the Art Institute of Chicago right now. A new Picasso + Chicago exhibit was recently installed, and it's all I keep talking about! Pretty, pretty please? :)
I love Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. I would LOVE to take my husband – I grew up going there, but he is from England and has never been. It's such a fun place with interactive exhibits, and I have so many childhood memories associated with the place that I would love to share with him. Plus, he used to be a science teacher, so it's actually one of the few museums he would go to willingly. He's now pursuing a master's degree full time and I'm working full time to pay the tuition and life bills, so museum tickets are considered a luxury to us, and something we can't splurge on.
I have two very distinct loves: science and art. (Ok fine, three loves: dark chocolate!) I find perfect peace when these two otherwise opposite subjects come together (and if I can be eating chocolate, then we're talking bliss). Give me a day at the Museum of the Rockies (Bozeman, Montana) to explore and sketch dinosaur fossils, and don't forget the chocolate! :)
WONDERFUL suggestions on tips for going to a museum. Can you have those "rules" posted at all museums? People just don't know when they're being rude.
I'd visit the Orlando Museum of Art with my boyfriend. I love art museums and it has been way too long since I've been to a good one!
This is such an awesome post! I was lucky enough to have a mother who spent hours coming up with ideas to fill my siblings & my days (before we were in school) with tons of fun activities, plenty of crafts, beach days, and trips to the museums. I grew up in Chicago so the Field Museum & Science & Industry Museums are old friends.
Recently I moved with my boyfriend to Denver, we've gotten to explore the city a little bit, but we're always so busy with work/school and tied up with money that we haven't had a chance to visit any of the major museums yet. That being said I would love to go visit the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. They have some awesome permanent and visiting exhibits, from the websites description (mammoths! egyptian mummies! Gem carvings of Russian fok!) as well as imax shows and even a planetarium that's currently showing a feature on super-volcanoes. Considering how close we are to Yellowstone I'm sure it'd be really beneficial to find out if we even have a chance of surviving if one erupted. All that being said we'd love to get a chance to go!
I'm a gallery assistant at a well-known museum and I'd like to add "manners" to the list of things to bring! Please don't respond negatively when a museum guard asks you to follow the rules! We love the art just as much as our guests do and want to keep it unharmed! :)
What a wonderful post! Wow – I need to go to the Neon Museum and Graveyard, so cool!
My husband I are hoping to go and see the Stanley Kubrick exhibit at LACMA in Los Angeles soon. Our favorite movie is The Shining and we can't wait to see some of the props, costumes, posters, and photographs!
I've always been kind of a museum junkie, and I've lived in the Washington, DC area my whole life, so I admittedly–and thankfully–have been to most museums (and botanical gardens and historic sites) around here, a lot of them more than once. I've always loved art and history and am capable of losing hours of time in an art gallery or other museum and still feel like I didn't have enough time.
Hands down, though, there is one place I would love to be able to visit, and that's the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. I know it doesn't seeem like the same kind of museum and gallery that the rest of these are, but I promise that it really kind of is.
I'm never going to be the kind of baseball fan you think of when you watch ESPN. (For one thing, I will never be the kind of person who enjoys watching ESPN.) But at some point in college, between the literature classes and the art classes, I fell in love with the game. I fell in love with the history and the mythology and the stories. I fell in love with the architecture and art, the poetry and the drama and the sweet close-mown green grass. There was a poem once that described a night game as "the dark ballet," and I get that now. I think my best friend, who studied history and Jane Austen and Victorian novels and who fell in love at the same time I did, once decided with me that baseball could be described as "magicial realism in uniform."
And somehow between my art and my writing and all the things I love that have nothing to do with knowing that Candie Cumming invented the curveball (except he maybe didn't), I still haven't managed to shake how much I love the history of baseball. Because more than the present game, it's the history I'm in love with. I'm in love with Satchel Paige and Honus Wagner and Luke Appling and Josh Gibson and Cool Papa Bell. I'm in love with Christy Mathewson, the Christian Gentleman, and Walter Johnson, the Big Train. That was my grandfather's name too, by pure coincidence, and about a month ago, I inherited his baseball glove from the Army, beaten and worn and at least sixty years old and one of the most beautiful things I own now.
Long story short: I have devoured books and books on the stories that are held in the Baseball Hall of Fame and my museum-junkie, beautiful-object-loving self would love to be able to go see those things in person, taking my best friend along with. And I know it's a bit of a drive from where I am, but this post comes right as I get a new car and I can't imagine a better way to use it.
(It also doesn't hurt that this post comes right on the brink of spring, and as A. Bartlett Giamatti wrote better than I can: "It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.")
I have lived in the Phila. area most of my life and have never heard of the Wagner but now I can't wait to go! (and my daughter just spent the last 4 years living at Temple U!)
I've been looking for a place to draw birds and this sounds perfect!
I love living in Washington, DC, where so many of our wonderful museums are free! Some of them charge admission, though, like the Textile Museum–I'd love to go there with a friend. :)
Grace, I LOVE this post! I seriously need to up my museum going! I've been dying to cross to the west coast and go to the Contemporary Craft! Ugh…if only there was more time (and money) in the days…
Also, I don't mean to sound sales-y, but I'd love to help you with a similar post about Aquariums if you're interested! I work for National Aquarium and I'd love to have you visit and connect you with other aquariums around the country :)
Again, not to be too sales-y haha
Always love your posts :) xoxo
I live about 50 miles away from the Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Museum of Art, but I have never been there. I am rather ashamed to admit it. It is a case of being a little too far for an impromptu visit, and a little too close to be a planned destination. I really would like to go though, and one of these days I will make it happen.
thanks kate!
that's actually on my list to do this year :)
Bravo! As a museum employee I am always happy when people come in the door but I too enjoy visiting them on a regular basis. Don't limit yourself to art museums. You can sketch in history museums, science centers and even zoos!
I wrote a guide to visiting museums with kids that those with little ones might want to check out before a visit:
Museums are fun!
i love museums! the smell, the light, the architecture, the carefully curated collections – I find I'm always inspired by something new, even if it's a museum I've been to many times before. I'd love to visit our local museum, the Grand Rapids Public Museum – they currently have an amazing Titanic exhibit that looks fascinating. Plus there's a beautiful carousel and some amazing permanent exhibits that I never tire of experiencing. This is a great post!
i want to go to the museum of vancouver! http://www.museumofvancouver.ca/ it is my favourite place in vancouver (well, tied with the aquarium). they always have really interesting exhibits, including the current one "sex talk in the city", which i've been dying to check out!
I've lived in NY for 8 years now, but have never made it to the Natural History Museum (been to all the other big ones, including Brooklyn & Queens Museums and a few smaller ones that I don't remember the names of). It's on my list and I'd LOVE to go – your post is inspiring, it's the perfect time of year to have a museum date :)
In England the V&A museum is great, as is The Science Museum!
@Kate and Grace I'd love to read an article like this on aquariums! :) x
If you are interested in sketching at museums (using whatever medium they allow), many museums, especially in Europe & Australia provide small portable stools for you to sit on while you sketch.
I am planning on going to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta with my husband. We will drive in from Jacksonvile, Fl. and spend the day with Frida and Diego. If you saw my office, you would understand why this trip is important to me. My students always ask me who "he" is, and I have a chance to tell them about Frida's passion for life despite her pain. Since I teach Angela Carter's works, her essay of Frida is a good place to start. There is also the the picture of Amy Winehouse as Frida and the many fashion layouts inspired by Frida. I wish I could take a student or two with me.
As a museum employee at two art museums, it wonderful to see encouragement to visit you local museum. However its bit misleading when mentioning mediums other than pencil which is only allowed in art museums. You won't be able to use any watercolors in an art museum but feel to sketch with pencil.
I'd love to see the special Mark Rothko exhibit at the art museum here in Columbus, OH. The museum teamed up with our theatre company, which is putting on the play "Red" about Rothko's life. I'm going to the play tomorrow night, so the art exhibit would be the perfect follow up!
I'm afraid that's not true. As I mentioned before there are many museums across the country that allow watercolors. You may need to ask for times/galleries that allow it (many art museums have days of the week when artists are allowed to come before or after hours to draw), but it's definitely not against the rules everywhere.
Oh this is going to sound so generic but I'd really love to visit the MoMA in NYC. I've only gone for events, at night when the museum is half closed and would really love to spend an entire day there and really soak it all in!
I live in Portland and go to the Portland Art Museum regularly. So, because of Grace's suggestion, I'd love to give the Museum of Contemporary Craft a try!
Love the new column! I've been itching to go and visit The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. They have great exhibits plus the Omni and a planetarium! http://www.fwmuseum.org/
As a retiree in Manhattan, I have had the privelege of going to museums and galleries all over the city and surrounding areas. And I'm enclosing a link to the Smithsonian National Museum Day, which happens every spring. Many museums all over the country participate for free entry. You only need to sign up and print out the forms. The 2013 hasn't been set up yet, but here is the link ===> http://www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/ticket/
Happy museum going, wherever you are! Oh, and I would love two tickets for the Tretyakov Museum in Russia…lol!
I am going to second the other Twin Cities commenters on the Science Museum of Minnesota, it is definitely a great museum and one of the more expensive ones to visit. I always learn something new at the Science Museum!
This is such a fun thread, I love to see where everyone's from. SO many entries for the Minnesota Museum of Science! That sounds really cool.
I second the "be nice to Gallery Attendants" comment left by GA. Some people's jobs are more difficult than you think.
One more thing – if anyone is in Pittsburgh, go to the Mattress Factory Museum in the North Side, it's the only installation museum in the country and it's AWESOME
I've actually been meaning to get to the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts. There is a Georges Roualt exhibition as well as some prints about constellations and an installation of art based on natural objects!
If I could visit a museum it would definitely be the Indianapolis Children's Museum with my boyfriend. I have not gotten to go yet even though I go to school an hour away, and as I will be starting my masters in museum studies next year I want to go to every museum that I can! It's the world's largest children's museum with enormous dinosaurs and a whole exhibit about underwater archaeology, it would be an amazing place to visit.
This is a great article (bonus for the giveaway!). There are so many museums across the country on my list… but I'd have to say #1 is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Between the exhibits, the rooftop and the partnership it has with the Cloisters it has been on my list of spots to visit for the 6 years I've lived in NYC and I just haven't gotten there yet.
I have always wanted to go to Wright's -Fallingwater down in PA, but since I reside in NYC, it is a very far excursion! However, a close second would be Johnson's-Glass House. I hope they won't throw stones at me for saying that. It is much closer, and I think it would be just as much fun as my first choice. Also, I understand that there are many homes around that area worth seeing, although not museums. My idea of paradise all the way around. Here's hoping you hit me up with tickets.
I live in NYC, and I would really love to take my boyfriend to the Natural History Museum to see the exhibit on "Our Global Kitchen:Food, Nature, Culture." Food — cooking, sharing, eating — is such a shared human experience, and it's one of my favorite ways to spend time with people. I've been writing a bit about this topic on my blog, and I would love to learn more about how food intersects with culture and history in other parts of the world.
I have always wanted to go to the Winchester Mystery House. It's in San Jose, an hour south of me. The idea of it is super creepy, but also I have read about the beautiful woodwork and stained glass. I love museums that are sort of biographical- a little view into one person's life.
The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture in Spokane, WA is where I have wanted to go since I moved to the Inland Northwest 8 1/2 years ago. This is my year of getting off the couch, new adventures and a start of new life.
What a well-timed post for me. I'm going to the Boston MFA tomorrow, the first time in 2013. I went 4 or 5 times last year and though the main collection is rather static, the changing exhibits are dynamic, modern and sometimes even mind-blowing. I am lucky to have museums near me like the Isabella Gardner Museum, as interesting for its collection as for the building itself. What gorgeous architecture! But if given my choice, I'd try someplace new – the Harvard Museum of Natural History. It's an experience I have planned for this year, but I'd love it to be sponsored by my favorite site!
I would love to go to MOMA in San Francisco. Of course, since I live in Hawaii, this would require me getting on a plane, staying in San Francisco, eating fantastic food, etc. So yes, I would love to go to MOMA in San Francisco! (Planning to go to SF anyway)
I love the newest museum in the USA…Crystal Bridges in Bentonville Arkansas. It is American art and the collection is crazy good.
Oooh, museums. My mom and I are planning a trip to NYC soon and our entire itinerary is filled with museums and places to eat! We will be visiting the "classics" of course, but I think I'm most excited to visit the Neue Galeria. While the collection might be a bit more limited in scope, I think it'll be a really interesting visit–especially the decorative arts (since they sometimes seem a little under-respresented in museums). Plus, I've heard their cafes have pretty good eats!
I'd love to go to the SF MOMA! I just moved up to the Bay a few months ago and have been wanting to go so badly! I'd love to bring a friend too! I loved getting lost in the art and history in museums. I feel like it would be the best introduction to my new home!
I am not sure I can beat out the commenter who wants to go to the Museum of Math – I mean, who wouldn't LEAP at the chance to be one of the first at that new museum.
I love museums and go as often as I can. I love making notes and lists of favorite pieces. Afterward, I indulge in a coffee or tea at the overpriced café and savor what I've seen and felt. Then, a quick exit through the gift shop is required to add to my postcard collection.
Recent favorite was the Edward Hopper show at the Grand Palais in Paris. It was such a treat to see his entire life's work laid out like that.
I'd like to see the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit here a the Denver Art Museum. She's one of the most inspiring artists ever.
I would love to go on a bit of a road trip and visit the Glenbow Museum in Calgary.
I would love to visit the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC with my art teacher friend — we made it to the gift shop once right before closing, and it was amazing. (I hope that's not the best part!)
my sons have been dying to visit the met and look at the antiquities. as young teenagers, i love their interest in history and want to encourage it. we are definitely going this spring!
this is awesome.. although, carrying watercolor with you to a museum is tricky, as you'll need water and paper towels and a blank strip of paper to test the color palette. I'm not sure of how the museum feels about that. usually they just let people sketch.
My favorite book forever as a kid was "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." Although I grew up in the Bay Area in the 70s, and Francie grew up in Brooklyn early in the century, I so identified with her experience: Irish American, child of immigrants, economic hardship, complicated–but loving–family relationships. So of course I have always, always wanted to visit the Tenement Museum. I assumed as a kid that it embodies the "Tree Grows in Brooklyn" experience; like walking through it would be like walking through my favorite book. I have since given the book to my daughter, who loves it as much as I do, which goes to show you that a good book is a good book, no matter what your experience. Anyway…that's the museum I dream of visiting. Thanks for including the Tenement Museum in your list, and thanks for this great post!
Living close enough to NYC I feel foolish having not seen every museum in the city and it's surrounds. Recently I was made aware of the Tenement Museum and that will be my next stop. After reading Pete Hamill's book "Forever" years ago I have been fascinated with the history of NYC but I don't know the city well enough to just launch out on my own discovery tour! A destination helps focus my visit…and this museum will definitely help me understand more of times, the people and their lives and how they shaped the future.
I've never been to the Musical Instrument Museum (called MIM, such a cool nickname) but I've been dreaming of going. They have a great reputation, people who visit always say "You HAVE to go!". I love music and it's history and know I will love the interactive exhibits this museum is famous for. Great post, I am going to review the museums here to see if there are any others I've missed.
I would really love to take my partner to the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. They are doing a big exhibit on food and culture right now, and he is a cook– so it would be perfect. I had wanted to take him there for his birthday but I was a bit too broke.
I've been really wanting to go to the Tenement Museum in NYC with my boyfriend Eli. Eli is Jewish and his mother is originally from New York. While she did not grow up in the Lower East Side, the LES remains to her (and him) such an emblem of Jewish-American history and struggle. I am Puerto Rican and the LES is also an emblem of Puerto Rican history and the struggles my forebears went through in search of opportunities and a better way of life for the following generations. If we won tickets to the Tenement Museum, the trip would turn into a day of celebrating and honoring both of our cultures and histories. After the tour, we would get a meal at one of the delicious Puerto Rican restaurants that remain in the area, followed by dried fruit and treats from Russ & Daughters, plus a portion of their delicious whitefish and smoked salmon salad to-go, to have on toast (rye, of course) for breakfast the rest of the week. It's not often that Jewish and Puerto Rican culture meet, but this would be one of those cases (as in our relationship) where they complement each other in meaningful ways.
My "local" museum is OMA in Central Florida & I try to visit at least once a year. I think I'm a little behind in that goal. Thank you for the reminder. We also have a folk museum in the area that I need to visit soon.
I would love to visit the San Diego Museum of Man's Instruments of Torture Exhibition. It is supposed to be a thought provoking exhibit with pieces visiting from a museum in Italy. Going along with the theme of the exhibit, it provides examples of aspects of the US post 9/11.
Most people who go to museums (myself included in many cases) go to say they went rather than going to learn and be enriched. My boyfriend and I are trying to slowly change that through a company we're starting. I'm pinning your post to share because it's a great for anyone going to a museum. Keep up the good work!
YIkes, this is tough! We live in DC, so I've been wanting to check out the National Buildling Museum for a while, though I've also been wanting to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright House in Arlington.
I love all my local museums! The one I am currently really wanting to visit is the California Science Center because the Space Shuttle is there! I never wanted to be an astronaut, but for some reason the shuttle FASCINATES me! When it flew here and then was driven through the streets I couldn't stop looking at all the coverage…it is just so amazing to think that it was once zooming around in space!
I love the Portland Art Museum here in Portland, OR. I would take MAX from the medical building where my ex-husband was sleeping through his chemo infusion and lose myself in the beauty and quiet of the space. That museum was the best medicine for me during a difficult time.
The Sarasota Museum of Art. We've just moved, and are yearning for an artistic connection to our new home city. Walking in a museum, taking time to really LOOK and FEEL and get a sense of what artifacts are unique to your place and time, makes me feel grounded. I am searching for art, and would love to get to the museum!!!
Umm I don't know what museum would let you bring watercolors into the galleries?!! Our museum is pencil on paper only around the art, for good reason!
I love this concept! Great job!
But FYI despite what they lead you to believe you DO NOT have to pay to go to the Met. Their fee is "recommended," but it is in their founding charter that they cannot require anyone to pay admission. Though it is nice to pay the full amount, don't let it stop you if you can't afford it.
If you live anywhere in the midwest you must make a road trip to visit St. Louis's City Museum. We make the 5 hour drive at least once a year. The City Museum is an eclectic experience, reminiscent of a sideshow or steam-punk amusement park, hands-on, like no other museum. Crafted by eccentric artists, the museum is built from reclaimed materials, like airplanes & school buses. Its wacky, interactive, inspiring and one of a kind. Includes multi-story slides, caves, climbing tunnels, mini train, tiny circus, odd aquariums, bar and ice cream parlor, etc.
There are many museums I'd love to see, all over the world, but close to home, I'd like go to the Tacoma Art Museum. Currently, I believe they have a Warhol exhibit, but it's always an interesting place to visit, I support the local community & I don't have to travel very far to get there, so it's perfect, all the way around!
You've inspired me !!! We used to live in dc and spent countless days in all the treasures there. It was always an adventure…bringing the girls to the open sketching days at the Corcoran, discovering something new to eat at the Native American museum, the silent sadness of the holocaust memorial…..so much. And now we live in the land of chain restaurants and castles of entertainment not culture….but you made me realize I just need to look a little closer, and a bit harder to find the essence of the story here. So yes, we need " to get out" and do just that….not sure what we will find but that's the adventure for sure …. with appreciation.
If anyone is in Boston, please come visit Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. We have an enormous art collection showcased in a 15th century Venetian inspired palace with a 4-story indoor courtyard. The collection never changes and it takes you into the world of Mrs. Gardner's travels, friendships with artists and writers, and her own style of collage mixing furniture with paintings, fabrics, and objects.
I'd like to visit the Mutter Museum!
Ooooh, I love the Natural History Museum or the Frick, but I'd probably choose the Guggenheim because I've never visited there before.
I've seen people (not in any special group) using them in galleries and museums in NYC, SF and DC. I don't think it's prohibited everywhere, you just need to ask and find if places offer special times/rooms to paint in.
For example, this is the Brooklyn Museum's policy: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/faq.php
You just need to ask for permission or a permit sometimes :)
I would love to bring my 4-year-old daughter to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, because it's small enough that she won't be overwhelmed, but full of such beautiful and varied art that she'll still be impressed. Plus I think she'd be amazed that it was once somebody's house!
How about the Getty Museum in LA …. so we can see the Special Installation at the Getty Center Vermeer's Woman in Blue Reading a Letter | February 16–March 31
We will buy plane tickets from Colorado!
Would love to visit the Tenement Museum. I live in NYC and have wanted to go there so many times, but so far have only done some major browsing in their bookstore.
My husband & I would love to visit the fernbank museum in Atlanta. We recently got married and as every one told us the first year of marriage is tough. We are always working and saving money to start our new life together which I appreciate but we rarely have a date night (or day) any more. It would be amazing to go see the new exhibits at the fernbank with my husband and have a relaxing date with him.
I would love to see the Maurice Sendak exhibit at the Bowers Museum in Orange County, California!

Sienna color is UGLY!
I will be returning this product because the pattern is unattractive and the drapes are thin and poorly made. Unfortunately I did not know that it would cost me $$$ for shipping and handeling to return. I just assumed the returns would cost $2.95 the same as the shipping. I will not make that mistake again. This will be my last purchase with overstock.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Darker in person.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Poor quality ... thin with loose threads.
Bedroom Curtains
These panels are very nicely made and are fairly true to colors on screen. They are a little too shiny for the look I needed, but would look great in a room that is more dressy than casual.
Couldn't use.
Beautiful window treatment but did not work in the room!

The placenta, family invitations, and fainting husbands
Q. Someone told me the placenta looks like a big kidney. Is this true? Because if so, I'm telling my doctor to keep it to himself.
A. Well, the placenta can look that way, and frankly, you'll be lucky if yours does. "A big, red, beefy placenta that looks a lot like organ meat is exactly what we hope for," Buxton says. "A tiny, shriveled placenta may mean you didn't take care of yourself or that your baby may not have gotten the nutrients and oxygen she needed." Of course, once your baby is born you will be so ecstatic and involved with her that you will barely be aware of the staff going about their business, known as the third stage of labor (the easy part, to you). Meanwhile, your health care provider will quietly inspect the placenta to make sure it's normal and healthy and intact, but by then you'll be tallying up your little one's Apgar score and cooing about her already obvious brilliance.
Q. I was hoping to invite some family members to be with me at the birth, but now I'm getting worried I'll lose control and start screaming at everyone.
A. It's the stuff of many a movie or TV show: Mom on the delivery table cursing out her husband for getting her into this mess. If you've ever been in a hospital maternity unit, you certainly may have heard a few screams. Still, you're not likely to morph into a totally different personality, says Trish Booth, a former childbirth educator and doula in Manlius, New York, and the author of Pregnancy Q&A: Authoritative and Reassuring Answers to the Questions on Your Mind. "You do not become someone else in labor -- it's an intensification of who you already are," she explains. "If you turn inward and get quiet under stress, that's what you'll do in labor. If you yell and scream normally, then you may during childbirth too."
Q. Is it true -- do women really end up pooping when they push the baby out?
A. There's a very good reason they tell you pushing the baby out feels like a bowel movement -- you're probably having one of those too. "The vagina and rectum are parallel, so when the baby's head begins to crown, anything in the rectum gets expelled as well," explains Buxton. "It's just physics. Women get upset because it's a private thing, but like vomiting, it's no surprise to anyone who works in a labor room. We just discreetly clean it up and move on." And rest assured that no one is going to allow your baby to land in poop -- this event happens in the early stages of pushing, not when the baby comes out.
Q. My husband fainted at my last birth -- he said all the blood was too scary looking. I'm not squeamish, however, and would like to try to watch the birth in the hospital mirror this time around. Do I dare -- and what do I do about him?
A. We love dads -- we wouldn't be procreating without them, after all -- but not all men are created equal when it comes to delivery-room support. Research shows that men fear losing their partner more than anything else about childbirth, explains Booth. Labor can be frightening for them to watch, and when it comes to medical decisions, "many dads will defer to anyone in scrubs," she says. Chances are your partner will hold up better the second time around -- just like you, he has some idea of what to expect -- but don't force a 360-degree view on him if he seems wary of the idea. The beauty of the delivery-room mirror is that it is easily adjustable. Your health care provider can angle it so that you can see what's going on while Dad averts his eyes. And if you change your mind, it can be quickly rotated so you don't have to watch either. Actually, the reverse often happens: "Watching your own progress can be a good motivational tool," says Buxton. "Moms get inspired to push harder when they see the head coming. And dads who come into the delivery room insisting they don't want to see any blood may totally change their tune and become fascinated if the caregivers explain what's happening. The next thing you know, Dad's putting on gloves and catching the baby."

Narrow your search
The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Apple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
Though it's only marginally more durable than the original Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Active's physical buttons and high-end features keep it in Samsung's hit parade.
For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range.
Very, very incremental updates from the X-A1 include a flip-up display.
This 23-inch all-in-one is built for entertainment, offering great speakers and a striking look. But the glossy, reflective display throws a wrench in the works.
Pricing not available
The Bowers and Wilkins P5 Series 2 has the same winning design of its highly rated predecessor, but now it sounds even better.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
Wunderlist for Windows Phone is fast, free, task-management app that works anywhere you do, and couples cross-platform support with simple collaboration tools.

We have learned since we were young that we use only 10 per cent of our brain, leaving so much of the brain's capacities unexplored. While the concept seemed fascinating, it also left people wondering about the reasons for the non utilisation of the remaining 90 per cent, simultaneously opening new possibilities within the minds of several about the things man could do if he used his brain's capacity completely. This belief triggered several creative ideas in film makers, resulting in remarkable sci-fi movies, and at the same time, it re emphasised the long-held belief among moviegoers.
A survey conducted in 2013 by Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research further confirmed that the "10 percent" myth is still widely held. The poll revealed that 65 per cent of Americans are certain that human beings used only 10 per cent of our brains - 5 per cent more than belief in evolution.
However, Barbara Sahakian, a professor of clinical neuropsychology at the University of Cambridge, mocked at the idea of man using only a fraction of his brain. She stated that "doesn't make any sense."
She explained that this wrong idea began circulating through Dale Carnegie's popular book How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. She also said that the 10 per cent figure that people held on to was artificial. Carnegie just used the figure to support a point he had made in the book.
She sought another explanation to this widely spread false perception about the working of the brain, stating that according to neuroscientists, the brain contains 90 per cent support cells called glial cells that provide nutrients to the other 10 per cent which are neurons. Thoughts are produced by the neurons, the grey matter, and hence this belief could have emerged.
Sahakian further explained that smart drugs can help improve people's cognitive ability. They can help enhance a person's alertness, attention, memory and other cognitive abilities. "In the future, we will have drugs that can produce even greater enhancements with no, or low, side effects. It is highly likely that at that time, smart drugs will be in common use," she said.

OOoooooh, Debate, this will be fun!!! =3
2. Slovenia is on the edge of central Europe. Taking into account that, until 1991, it was part of Yugoslavia(which I think everyone would agree was an eastern European nation), the case can be made that Slovenia can be generalized under the heading of "Eastern Europe(especially if one goes under the "classic" form of seperating Europe into east and west, without a "central" category)." Also, as Slovenia has been characterized by being made up of "slavic" people, who make up the majority of "eastern" Europe, the case gains further merit in my book. Even more than that, I have always divided Europe in such a way, and don't like being wrong. =p
3. "Europe" has not existed for thousands of years. The people of those parts of Europe have existed for thousands of years. It is those people, their history and culture, and the nations that they have formed, that have existed for thousands of years, not "Europe." Let us make this perfectly clear. Even looking back through history, the idea as "Europe" as one people is a very recent ideal. Throwing away the culture's of your realms for this one group is, in my opinion, a travesty. And the fact that America does not have a long identity only makes us care more for history and culture. Maybe once you have gone without this, and are all homogenized into one "bland" nation, you will realize how much you have lost, for so little gain, I pray it is so.
a.) Not the case, actually. I prefer to talk to liberals, reason and understand. You know, "discussion," in the classical sense. The rude, offensive one(who makes claims without any real back-up), seems to be you.
b.) Now that is truly moronic. On one hand, for you to claim that the news source of one individual's choosing is biased and outright wrong, well, that is extremely bigoted and arrogant. Afterall, who is to say that it is not your news that is the one out of touch with reality. Furthermore, to assume that because I am a Republican(and I actually am not a Republican, by the way, though I have voted Republican the last two elections, as they were the party closest to my views that had a chance of winning) I only read/watch/listen to selected media identified with my party is also extremely arrogant. In fact, as I have said on occasion, I tend to read a variety of news sources, and not trust them on first notice. From my study of history, I have seen how the media and rumor can stray from the truth for their own selfish reasons(or even by accident), and tend to take unsubstantiated information with a grain of salt.
Also, as with Schil, making misleading statements is a no-no, 98. =p You and I both know that there are many factors dependant on your observation of the "safe" roads of England. For example, you neglected to mention the outrageous gas prices England has compared to the US(http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/en...asoline-prices you are #2, while we are in the 100's, your government regulates gas to be that way, by the way[Steep fuel taxes—almost 85 percent of the price of every gallon—have been government policy for years—with the goal of driving more people onto public transport, reducing pollution and congestion—but they make British gasoline the most expensive in Europe.
]), and the fact that the US has almost 2x the number of cars per capita as the UK(http://www.nationmaster.com/red/grap...ehicles&nofb=1), both of which combine to mean that less people drive, for lesser periods of time, over shorter distances, on smaller roads(really, the size of the US and its roads also is an important factor to consider). When you consider those factors, what you said really does have less merit.
As to culture, refer to my comments to Schil. Having history, you should not throw it away, as all of Europe seems to be doing. Also, what you said about American culture shows your bias. We originally took ideas and culture from Europe, because that was where we came from. However, once we got here, the cultures mixed, blended, creating many diverse cultures that vary greatly from area to area, a thing that has not happened in Europe until recent times. As we have had longer for the blending and changing to occur, and with the influx of new ideals and ideas from India, China, Africa, ect, you could say that America has its own rich culture, completely seperate from its European roots. So there. =p
P.S. - I don't think CPR will like this...what can I say, I just can't let an argument go(that is not a good thing). Sorry.
Edit: Kaze, I starting writing this before your post, and never saw it. Do you want I should delete it, or make this a seperate thread?

A lot of people like to drink wine. They savor it. They know the good stuff from the trashy stuff. I applaud them. I also wonder if they ever think about bird crap. Yea, bird crap. Birds bomb anything outdoors with caca. I know that the grapes are washed first but have you ever washed bird droppings off your car?
Think about that the next time you order a carafe.
Earth Report
Trw was pretty well disgusted with his mission. It decided to seek another line of work when it got home. Living among the riffraff was getting it down. This particular bunch was really the pits. These people are living on an insignificant planet way out in the boonies and have egos as big as the universe. They're small-minded and can't see past themselves.
For instance, , they worry about skin color. How ridiculous is that? What would they do on our planet with it's multitude of colors and shadings? Hope we never find out. I even took a cross section of the different colors onto the ship, skinned the top layers off, and they still thought colors were important! They all looked alike skinned! The skinning didn't go over too well. In fact, they died. They're soft too.
They communicate by making sounds. Sort of like our pets do only these people make less sense. They talk even when they have nothing to say. I think they talk just because they can. My calculation show that 99.4 percent of the communication here are not only unnecessary but incorrect. For some reason you can't get a fact from these people. They offer a made up thing called an opinion.
You'd think these opinions were based on facts at least. Wrong! Mostly they're based on nothing. Whoever says it the loudest or most often seems to be the winner, or something. Don't seem to be any prizes given for it.
You'd have to be here to believe what they eat. They eat animals, birds, fish, and plants. Really! They actually put those things in their mouths after setting them on fire first. Isn't that wild! I'd like to set a few of them on fire. I did see one of the people eaten by an alligator thing they have here. Wow! Chomp, chomp and that's all it wrote. The person screamed and hollered and begged. Got eaten anyway. The alligator thing is stupid too.
Want to know how they choose a mate? DNA testing? No. Compatibility profiling? No. Looks. That's right, looks. The good looking males try to get good looking females. The good looking females try to get ugly males so they don't have to compete for attention. Is that smart? They should pair the good looking males with the good looking females and kill the rest.
They keep their young with them until they're fully grown. Sometimes, way past grown. Some of them can't get the young to leave the nest, as they say here. The young act like they have the right to stay at home forever. I'd take them by the neck and toss them into the wind. Fly or die, that's my motto.
The young don't even appreciate it. As soon as they decide to leave, if they ever do, they immediately start looking around for some place to place the parents when they get feeble. It usually has to be the cheapest place too. How do the young think their parents got feeble in the first place?
There's this one group that tells the rest of the inhabitants what to do. I guess doing their own thinking and deciding it too much for them. It is, of course. These "leaders" decide everything and, get this, the people not only allow it, they choose to do it. Isn't that bizarre? I've got to get out of here. Shuttle
Ready for a good laugh? They are so proud of themselves for putting a ship into space as if that was a big deal. They put a piece of junk up there that I wouldn't drive over a cliff. They put some people on it, launch it, watch the people float around and bring them back. Must be some sort of entertainment or something. It certainly isn't accomplishing anything. I mean, they know what their planet looks like. It looks the same from up there. The people they put up must be the dumbest ones since they actually come back! If it were me, I'd take off for parts unknown. Unknown to them, that is. Put me on a ship and I'll leave and never come back. I'm begging you.
The way some of them live is not to be believed. There's this one place where the air is opaque! They call it La La Land. Uh, I don't know how to explain that. The advantage to it is that when I go up to this Beverly Hills area and look back down on the city it's not there. At first I thought it was an optical illusion like so many things here. But then I figured it out. The air is only translucent at best so you can't see it. It was a plan by the rich so they wouldn't have to look at the poor.
In my next report I'll tell you how they get rid of their waste products. Even I can't believe this one.
Bring me home!!
The Crosstown Flood
Matthew was driving across the flooded Crosstown Expressway when he became concerned for his truck. He wasn't concerned about stalling out since he had jacked the body up so high that the Great Flood wouldn't matter to him. He was concerned about the Bug that was floating aimlessly around. It was upside down like the bug in the toilet right before you flush it.
Wasn't going to be any flushing this Bug. Should be a way with this being a new century and all. Maybe a giant pump to suck up all the water and the Bugs and pump them into the ocean. What's a few more gallons of water to an ocean? Heck, the sharks would eat the Bug. Problem. Solution.
Ah, here comes the tow boat to try to snare the Bug. Matthew wondered what they were using for bait. Being South Carolina it was either grits or boiled peanuts. No Southerner can resist that. Well, shoot, they're trying to hook it with a cable. Dang, that's no fun.
The cable guy tried a bunch of times to catch that rascal. He missed everytime. Finally, the Captain threw the cable guy overboard with a shout of, "Sink or swim!".
The Coast Guard cutter came roaring onto the scene. Time for the locals to get out of the way and let a professional take over. The Coastie yelled for the Bug to heave to. The Bug kept right on floating around. The Coastie yelled again for the Bug to heave to. The Bug kept floating, unconcerned at pissing off the United States Coast Guard. Finally the Coastie fired a warning shot across the bow. Well, the hood actually. The Bug kept floating along.
The S.W.A.T. helicopter whop-whooped into position. They sent a man down on a rope to attach to the Bug. They were then going to haul it in and charge the driver with aggravated disturbing the peace. It was going well until the Swat guy lost his grip on the rope and fell on top of the bug.
The Coast Guard was still firing shots at the Bug, scaring the Swat guy and the cable guy, who had swum to the Bug for safety. They kept missing. The S.W.A.T. commander, seeing this, ordered his team to open fire on the Coast Guard. Have to protect his men although the cable guy was on his own.
Well, talk about pissing off the United States Coast Guard. They don't like being shot at. They started returning fire. The Swat guy started shooting the Bug. The cable guy, seeing the holes opening up and the Bug starting to sink, whacked the Swat guy with a wrench.
Matthew, watching all this from his perch, was being entertained royally. He didn't notice the other Bug. The one that rear-ended him. The one with no insurance. The one that Matthew got out of his truck to confront. Out of his truck and into the flooded road. The flooded road that Matthew couldn't swim in because he couldn't swim.

I'm getting a little frustrated trying to find a simple explanation of the numbers involved in yeast cell counts. I'm not entirely inept but I can't seem to figure it out from How to Brew nor can I find a thread on HBT to help me out.
Can someone please explain it simply?
I don't have How to Brew right in front of me so I found on the WyeastLab web-site a chart which says for Ales, starting gravity <1.060, pitching AND fermentation temperatures >65dF, I need 6 million cells per milliliter.
The 100B WyeastLab smack-pack comes in around 5,283,441 for a 5 gallon batch and so I used a starter to notch it a bit more toward an exact 6M/mL. I used a starter of 1/2 cup Extra Light DME and 2 cups water.
Can someone show me the actual math (or point me to the thread) how many millions cells per milliliter I actually pitched after they multiplied in the starter?
Many thanks in advance!
The math you are looking for doesn't exist, unfortunately. Neither Mrmalty nor wyeast's formula is published (as far as I know), though Chris White's book Yeast has some inoculation and growth rate tables that you can use. Is there a particular reason you want access to the numbers rather than to just use the calculators as they stand?
Yeast population dynamics are too complex a system to model completely, so all of the estimates are quite rough. If you really want to know how many cells you pitched, you need a hemocytometer and microscope. I don't do many cell counts anymore, but the numbers I saw were often significantly above or below what either of the calculators predicted.
For what it is worth, Wyeast seems to think that you would be pitching about 9M/mL, assuming your smackpack was relatively fresh.
In any case, Wyeast and White Labs both suggests smaller pitching rates than I think most people around here would be happy with. The "standard" pitching rate numbers come from George Fix, and look something like:
.75M cells / mL of wort / degree Plato for an ale, or
1.5M cells / mL of wort / degree Plato for a lager
So, a 1.040 ale would by this rubric want something on the order of 7.5M/mL, or 150B cells. A 1.060 ale would need 11.25M/mL, or 225B cells.
Hmm...interesting. When I got home last night I looked at How to Brew and one chart - if I'm reading it correctly - gives some figures regarding the number of yeast cells in a starter. Don't have the book in front of me, but it looked like if I pitched a 100B pack into 1L starter at 1.040, I should get 168B yeast cells. If I remember correctly, the rest of it went something like this: 2L = 211B; 3L = 251B; 4L = 280B.
I found on WyeastLabs.com that it would be about 6M/mL...where did you get the 9M/mL. Or maybe I misread...
At any rate, thanks for clarifying that there's no hard and fast calculation. Also, let me ask it another way: how do I know if I'm underpitching, overpitching, or pitching approx. the right amount?
Just one more question (using the Wyeast calculator).
I used a .125 gallon starter wort and pitched one pack. It says that my final pitch rate is 6.9.
If I understand correctly, if I want to pitch the 9 you recommend, I'd have to use a starter of .25 gallons. Correct?
Starter yeast counts are random guesses. It's not worth doing the math as it's going to be wildly inaccurate.
You need to get a microscope and a hemacytometer and do cell counts. A cheap microscope isn't too expensive and it's not that difficult to do.
Primary 1: Oskar Blues Gordon Clone
Secondary 2: Pannepot Old Fishermans Ale Clone
Secondary 3: Pre-prohibition American Lager
Bottle Conditioning: Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier
Bottle Conditioning: Cherry Wheat
Bottle Conditioning: Rochefort 10 Clone
Drinking: Westvleteren 12 Clone
So, then, what do people do then: NOT whip up a starter? just eyeball a starter? use the calculators on Wyeast or MrMalty as "best guess"? Or do people not care?
I guess, maybe I should ask it this way: how do people ensure they're not at least over-pitching or under-pitching?

I'm in the process of writing an article on growing aloes in the Southeast - not just as indoor plants but as landscape plants. Quite a few can take temperatures as low as 25, and some as low as 20! I had some experience growing them outdoors in New Orleans, but would like to hear from anybody growing either species or hybrids in zones 9 and 10 in the Southeast. Reply here on the list or you can reply to me directly at email@example.com
I don't know what variety I have. It was a goofy little houseplant sitting on our window sill for years. On a whim, I planted it outside and grew like crazy, producing many pups. I now have dozens of them planted all over the place. It produces a single stalk of yellow flowers that doesn't form a canopy like other aloe varieties (looks like a hand of tiny bananas). Flowering on this variety is also rare. The plant has to be at a very mature size before it'll flower, and even then it doesn't do it every year. Freeze/frost doesn't seem to harm them, but this is the first year I've planted any away from the house, and we had a mild winter. Anyway, it grows great in 9B!

Clipper Enters Retail Market With ThermAlCast Cookware
Tuesday February 26th, 2013 - 4:08PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Clipper Corp. is making its debut in the retail cookware market with ThermAlCast, a new cast aluminum cookware line from the commercial food service cookware company. The company is unveiling the three-series collection at the International Home + Housewares Show.
Clipper charged its engineering team with developing a line of cookware that would elevate the innovation conversation to something more meaningful for the consumer, according to Todd Rogers, general manager/consumer product group for Clipper. Their response was ThermAlCast.
"When we started reviewing raw materials for our new line of consumer cookware, we kept coming back to cast aluminum over and over. It's got great thermal properties and since it's cast, our engineers are able to direct the metal to where it's needed most— namely the rim and the base of the pan," Rogers explained.
All of Clipper's ThermAlCast cookware features Whitford's Eterna non-stick coating on the interiors of the pan for durability and easy clean-up, Rogers continued. "We chose Whitford's Eterna PTFE coating for this line because our thought process was that this is a legacy product that is going to last a long time," Rogers said.

Obviously there hasn't been any digital sales yet for PS4 games outside of minor pricecuts for some indie games via PS+, though I feel it's about time for some sales. For example - I'd love to get Black Flag, but not at full price. I'm just not that into Assassin's Creed. I feel like that game is about ripe for its first flash sale kind of deal, or something.
Dynamic pricing is a thing, and I expect it to come PS4 shortly. Let's say around March, when the second wave of games is about to come out. What say you? Do you also expect digital sales to commence shortly? Or are digital sales still ways off?

Granite chips for Al's gritty mix?
Greetings fellow growers,
Long time gardener, first time poster. Working on collecting my ingredients for 5-1-1 and 1-1-1. I just moved to FL and the wife and I bought our first house. We are finding ourselves doing alot of container gardening inside and out. We plan on using the 5-1-1 mix for annuals, citrus and vegetables and looking to use the 1-1-1 gritty mix for my succulent collection and various house plants (pothos, ferns, hoyas, etc)
I have all my ingredients for the 5-1-1 and have secured everything for the gritty mix minus the granite chips. I found a landscaping company locally that sells "granite fines" for .10/lb (scoop your own and go). Description says 3/8" minus which seems a bit big obviously but i suppose i need to screen regardless. Here is a pic, what do you guys think? The picture seems like more fines than 3/8" particles but who knows until I go check it out. Also, tons of feed stores locally in my area but no one carries Gran-i-grit..
"...tons of feed stores locally in my area but no one carries Gran-i-grit." Hummm, how about poultry grit?
That granite in the photo looks a little fine. Crushed granite is also known as poultry grit, and a company called Manna Pro makes it. I got mine from a local Tractor Supply Company store.
yep crushed granite it is fireduck its perfect size and plenty of sharp edges i use it in my rock tumbler as well for polishing jewelry etc...need those sharp edges for that as well, was just throwing it out there for anyone who may Be stuck for places to look :) so yes don't get the smooth rocks , look for the ugly white stuff :)
In The Manna Pro Brand.. you want the Poulty grit..
Good Luck..
I have the Gran-i- grit locally and it is sold in three sizes you want the "growers size" 100 percent crushed Granite stay away from anything with crushed oyster shells in it!!
Cherrystone is crushed Quartzite and you want the # 2 size.
Local feed and seed store have this available..
Try Tractor Supply Stores
Southern States Feed and Seed stores too
Mom and Pop Feed and Seed stores can always order as well..
