Best Museum? My vote- the Barnes Foundation

a little known gem on the Main Line outside of Philly.

The quirkiest museum ever. A largely unknown treasure trove of impressionist art that has to be experienced to be believed.

Anyone know the status of the plans to move it? I hope they dont!

1. How about the Museum of Communism in Prague?

Everything you didn't want to know about a repressive regime!

3. Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago

Very hand on. They have a replica of a heart you can acutally walk through; an actual German WWII submarine you can walk through (not for the claustrophobic); baby chicken hatchery; huge doll house with tiny furniture that is actually usable if you are six inches tall; so much more.
