A1: Think all museums are unique as most have something in them that you can’t see elsewhere, but if you visit the @etchescollect when you travel to Kimmeridge Bay on the #JurassicCoast, you can literally watch the palaeontological discovery progress.

A2: Not that weird, but maybe the Museo de la Pirateria housed in the C.15th Castillo de Santa Barbara, Lanzarote, which was built to defend against said pirates (https://t.co/QsLGG9DErR). And it’s located on the rim of a volcano.

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @tangenghui A1: I have a Masters in Museum Studies, and I think from a broader perspective every museum is unique, in that most pieces held in it are one-offs. But what makes them unique is how they approach the collection, how they deliver it to their visitors, and how they engage! #TTOT

A2 #Stockholm’s ABBA Museum is quirky but also very interactive permitting the visitor to perform on stage with the holograms of the group members or record one’s voice along with ABBA songs, etc. #TTOT

A3: This is the Bronze Age Stonehenge Archer (c.2300 BCE), displayed in the Wessex Gallery of @SalisburyMuseum. We went to see the Amesbury Archer, but tbh, almost every item in this relatively small room will take your breath away.

A3 via @StevenOnTheMove #TTOT On of the most unique exhibits is the #Damascus of room in the 'Museum für Völkerkunde' in #Dresden #Germnany @SKDmuseum; another one of only five worldwide you can find in the @metmuseum https://t.co/oI70QFpG5J

A3 Most unique items for teenage me from Oregon: I first discovered Mummified bodies in #Chicago’s Field Museum. Next, the Museum of Mummies #Guanajuato (not yet behind glass-just standing up next to you). Recently Bog People (image) #Dublin 400-200 BC National Museum. #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelDudes A4 via @TravelDudes #TTOT I visit #Weimar and its many museums again and again - the city is of enormous cultural significance for #Germany, both positively and negatively e.g. Weimar #Classicism #Bauhaus #Nietzsche #Buchenwald, here a #photography of the working room of #Goethe

A4: Didn’t go to Dubrovnik specifically to visit the Homeland War museum on Srđ Hill, but had it on our list of places to see. Equally as poignant, it’s worth a visit to the nearby Kupari complex to bring home what you learn in the museum.

A4 #Train trip to #Figueres, #Spain. Not just your ‘everyday’ museum: the Salvador Dalí Theatre-Museum. So much better than I imagined. #CostaBrava #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelDudes A5 via @route_wild #TTOT As a student, I visited the Natural History and Ethnographic Museum of #Mongolia in #Ulaanbaatar - unfortunately I only have a faint #blackandwhitephotography of it! Need to return one day!

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelDudes A4: I went to #Madrid solely to see the Prado. It is a holy grail of museums in my area of study. Then I visited the Reina Sofia modern art museum too - and fell more in love with that! haha An exceptional city of museums! #TTOT
