The Ultimate List of the Best Museums in the World
World’s Best Museums Visiting a new country can be exciting yet overwhelming experience. There is art, culture, history, architecture, music, design and science that are all waiting to be learned and explored in cities and towns throughout the world. A museum can provide a glimpse into local life, or provide education on a broader level. I think museums are a way to get a glimpse of the view of a country. Small, local museums even more-so, they show how they perceive themselves and the rest of the world. Get out to a museum near you, open your eyes and enrich your minds. Doing some research to choose an interesting museum…

15 favorites of 2015
Ok, so it’s a good thing the years keep getting bigger in number because my opportunities and experiences keep getting better. The end of the year is the best time for me to reflect on what I’ve worked for each year, and look back on the opportunities that make me feel the most thankful and happy.
