Top 10 U.S. Museums You Need to Visit
This Friday's list of Top 10 U.S. Museums you need to visit actually comes with an additional 10 bonus museums. Yay! It's like two for one. :-) When I asked my friend Anne, the museum maven, for a list of her top ten art museums in the U.S. that she thinks everyone should visit, she couldn't keep her list to just ten, so she split them between large and small museums. The museums that have an asterisk next to them are those that can be enjoyed for free on Museums on Us weekends. I hope you get enjoy any of the top 10 U.S. museums you need to visit!Top 10 Large Museums
