    I’m enjoying this thread, I’ve been to many of the museums already mentioned and they’re all great.

    For me I think my current favourite is the Natural History Museum in New York which I went to a couple of months ago. It was enormous and every room had a few really special things. I learnt so much!

    My all time favourite is just so difficult. I really enjoyed The House of Terror in Budapest, I really didn’t know anything about the topic at all and I was thoroughly educated.

    I’d also give a special mention to a museum in Rhodes that was full of sculptures they’d pulled from shipwrecks. The geography means there’s a lot of shipwrecks nearby and those date from ancient Greece onwards. The oldest sculptures were well rounded by the water and it gave them a very weird ethereal look.

        I nearly didn’t go because I’ve been to so many Natural History museums and I had a short time in New York, but then my friend reminded me that Ross from friends worked there and that tipped the scales.

        It was so huge though, I got there at opening and there was genuinely a point where I realised I needed to speed up or I wouldn’t finish it before closing time! That’s without any of the special exhibitions too.
