@RTWBarefoot @postcardsplaces A2 Probably the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima as you get to visit the actual production line where the cars are built, and I got to see the actual line mine was built one.
Unfortunately as a working factory they don’t allow photos in it so here is outside the HQ.

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @postcardsplaces A2) Costa Rica's Pre-Columbian Gold Museum was unique because it was a mix bag of exhibits, from the gold & currency which we couldn't photograph to the cultural & natural history of the country. #TRLT
#trlt A2: oh there was also the Zagreb 80 museum in, uhm, Zagreb, that was an interactive apartment set out like as if it were in 1980. That was interesting. And disturbingly nostalgic.

A:2 one of the most and unique Museums that I enjoyed visiting was the Nubian Museum in Aswan @ExperienceEgypt dedicated to the Nubian culture old and modern #TRLT
A2 The Musée des Égouts de Paris (Museum of Sewers) in Paris is one that I haven't heard of elsewhere! Unique and interesting--and smelly haha #TRLT https://t.co/2rG9ZLzqAB
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces A2. The tsunami memorial museum in Khao Lak. The twin was devastated in the 2004 tsunami, definitely the most unique and most moving museums I’ve been to. #TRLT
replying to @maycausewanderl @maycausewanderl yeh. I'm a bit like that with dark history; I'm like 'welp, I remember this happening' so it's interesting for me to kind of go full circle on it. Like Chernobyl, if that counts as a museum #trlt I recall the original incident!
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @CrabMuseum @postcardsplaces Scotland too! Such as Skye's Giant MacAskill Museum in honour of Angus MacAskill, for reasons the picture makes obvious. @HMatthews67 has turned it into a new version of that upper-middle-working class TV comedy sketch from the 60s #TRLT

Snowglobe Manufacture & Museum: Vienna 🇦🇹
Of course, I got 3 (of the 45s).
Of course, I shipped them across the planet to my nieces.

A3 Any number of great small/local #museums in the UK, but we visited Ripon in Yorkshire for 3 @RiponMuseums on a law and order theme: prison and police, workhouse and (not pictured) the courthouse. #TRLT @RTWBarefoot

@findinganeish @TheTravelCamel On that subject, I feel obliged to share these 😊
A cool setting for a dinosaur exhibit! #TRLT
Don't miss a tour inside and outside when you visit the Sagrada Familia. https://t.co/VZHFonHqDa A "must see" agenda item when you visit Barcelona in Spain. #TRLT #TTOT @TurismoSpain
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A3: Hah! I loved the Charles Schultz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA. SNOOPY! #TRLT
A3 #TRLT Most people don’t know Oregon is home to the HK-1 Flying Boat (Spruce Goose) built by Howard Hughes in WW2. This is the outside of the museum about 30 minutes out of Portland in the heart of wine country. https://t.co/TlQhlQUnl3
A2: What’s the most unique museum you’ve visited on @postcardsplaces #TRLT well when I was young - I recall the Old Curiosity Museum (??) in Tring - however today it has to be the Petrie Museum - London - a single man's almost chaotic collection - with great stuff - as this dress
A3. When I lived in NYC I couldn’t believe how few people went to the Morgan Library and Museum. It’s small but stunning. And always has interesting exhibits. #TRLT https://t.co/5hqFYj95RL
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot If you like tractors, our Ag Museum has over 150 tractors. And that's just one of the many features. Multiple events are held there each year as well. #TRLT a3
A3 Few tourists visit the Berdaq Museum of Karakalpak Literature in Nukus, but it’s worth going for the building alone - the domed exterior is inspired by Timurid architecture & there are murals inside of Karakalpak life. #TRLT
