Greetings, fellow travelers! 🌎
On this blog you will find wild stories, stunning photos, quotes, random gossip, whimsy & snark, from staff and visitors to:
Museums 🏛️
Science centers 🔭
Zoos 🐼
Aquariums 🦈
Botanical gardens 🌿
& related institutions.
I have some stories of my own to tell, and I want to hear about your experiences in these places, too!
About me: I just took early retirement after working for more than 25 years as the web designer, editor, and photographer for a natural history museum. I have a BA in anthropology and a master's in museum studies. I had graduate assistantships in the exhibits, entomology, and geology/paleontology departments of the university museum where I was working towards my degree. Before that, I worked as a sort of general assistant in a small science museum. Earlier still, I volunteered with the exhibits team at a science & nature center that also had a small zoo.
My parents were both scientists - mom was a high school biology teacher (and a botanist by training) and dad was a physicist. They both loved to travel, and we did a lot of that when I was a kid. We took a few cross-country road trips, and also took trips to Canada, France, the UK and Switzerland. I've done limited travel on my own to Germany and Denmark. I've been to museums and similar places on most of these trips. I plan to share my thoughts on those experiences here.
Please join me in exploring the world of museums!

REVIEW: Jackson County Historical Society - Young Historian Passport Program [History Tour]
A Youth Program Sponsored by the Jackson County Historical Society in Missouri In 2022, my son and I jumped onto the opportunity of being in the first handful of participants of the Jackson County Historical Society Young Historians program. As an educational program, it’s a cool idea. With museums always wanting more participation, and most children’s tendency to love “gamifying” things and…

this is Total Time in Car. train trips don't count. do not count time spent in hotels. if you slept in your car you can put those hours towards your total tho. doesn't matter if you were the one driving or were just a passenger. and put in the tags where you went :)

REVIEW: Spider-Man - Beyond Amazing at Union Station Kansas City [History Tour]
A Museum Exhibit Spider-Man – Beyond Amazing is the newest museum exhibition at Union Station in Kansas City, MO, promising to be a blast for all ages. Union Station has a large exhibition area in its lower level, and they bring in big exhibits on a yearly basis (give or take). I make my best effort to attend all of them that I can whenever they come into town. This one, chronicling the rise and…
