Friday Frivolity - Museum Edition

It's time for this week's edition of Friday Frivolity - the blog party for all things fun, funny, hopeful & happy!

At last week's party, we filled our bellies with fun for "Eat What You Want Day."

This week we're looking at our favorite museums for International Museum Day -- and in order to put the international into this list, I'm sharing my favorite museums from around the world:






Museo del Prado -- This might just be the best museum in the world, plus it happens to have my favorite work hanging on one of its walls!



The Smithsonian -- All of them! I could spend the rest of my life wandering all the halls and still probably not see everything!



The Tate Modern -- What I actually love the most about this museum is the building as well as its location directly across the river from St. Paul's. It's always got something interesting going on, though...



Musee D'Orsay -- Another building I love, although this one is guaranteed to be full of my favorite art!



Jewish Museum Berlin -- Fascinating and moving!



Musei Vaticani -- Sing with me now, "It's the museum that never ends...it goes on and on and on..."



The British Museum -- I have to go see some of the same things here each time, but then I try to go explore something new. It never gets old!

And I could keep going on and on listing more, but this is a good start.

Which museum is your favorite?

Now time for the new stuff!

I know. I really am! And honestly, I could have added so many more, but I had to force myself to stop and just go to bed. {grin} Thanks for saying hey today!
There are many beautiful museums around the world.
Happy Friday and thanks for hosting!!

You're welcome, Charlene, and I'm so happy you joined us this week!
I could be a career museum tourist. I drag my kiddos along whenever I can. :-) I'd love to see the British Museum. One of my favorite US museums- besides the Smithsonians- is the Jewish Holocaust Museum. It's such a somber, beautiful tribute!

YES! Career museum tourist! Where can I apply for that job? I thought the Holocaust Museum was a wonderful one, too! And I really hope you make it to the British Museum one day! It's incredible!
I am a big museum nut. I am lucky that I live in an area that has a ton of museums. It is amazing. Thanks for hosting.

You are so lucky to have a bunch of museums near home! We have several museums in our area, but they are nothing to write home about -- very tiny (only 2-3 rooms), but at least it's something! I always feel like if I lived in a city with REAL museums, I'd want to hang out at them almost every weekend! It's always great to see you here, Patrick! Have a great week!
Funny thing, a couple of hours after I posted this a teacher friend asked me to go the Legion of Honor with him and see an exhibit. Here it is: http://csuhpat1.blogspot.com/2017/05/monet-early-...

It was amazing.
Wow, that's so cool! (and crazy about the timing!)
Thanks for a great party - visited some posts, even found a couple of interesting ads!
