Nodes about
museums, because they're
cool, and they figured prominently in the
childhoods and
formative experiences of most
geeks. Now with geographical location due to
popular demand.
(I notice that a lot of really cool/famous museums haven't been noded, nor have more some general topics such as
art museum or
natural history museum or
museum studies or
volunteering in a museum. And nodes for museums in countries outside of the US and major European capitals are almost nonexistent. Write 'em up below when you do, or
/msg me)
