Go to a Museum!

I would like to mention a couple of museums I have been to, each more than once. The Nelson Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City, Missouri and all of the museums on the mall in Washington D.C.

The Nelson Atkins is such a great place to go for enjoying art in a very pleasant and well planned out museum. I could (and did) hang out there almost all day long, strolling about the master art
works. There are too many artists and works too mention, but believe me, there is a great collection of artwork there. Check it out online and see for yourself.

If you are ever in Washington D.C., you would be very glad to have visited each and every museum that lines the mall right in the center of it all. Just about every type of art from all over the world is packed into a very few blocks, at many unique and separate museums! It is easy to see most everything in a couple of days, but in my opinion, that is pushing it. Ideally, I would spend a week and explore only around the mall area and also be able to enjoy the monuments and great historical sites there as well. Summertime is packed with tourist and incredibly hot and humid, I suggest going at a different time of year!
