Saatchi Gallery asked:


Art museum is the collections of much variety of exhibitions and paintings. There are old art, new art, pretty art, art that makes us think or is even shocking. Anything that people experience turns up in art: love, war, eating, sports, nature, and faith, anything at all. Most museums are either free or have free days when you can go and enjoy the art. Commercial galleries are also free. Many places offer free lectures, either by an artist whose work is on display, or by individuals who are very knowledgeable in a particular collection on display.

At Saatchi Gallery you can see the List of Main Art Museums around the World as follows.

I once saw a product that I think was called Museum stick - though if it was, I would probably have been able to find it by now. Regardless, it was an adhesive that was removable, and may have even been wax-based. It was advertised as having been created for museums to fix artifacts in place, so they would not be knocked over easily. I think they also indicated it was good for earthquakes. I need some! So please let me know if you know the name of such a product and where I can find it. Thanks bunches!

chalinsumner asked:


The museum I work at is actually a military museum (Naval History.) I was wondering, if we had some sort of events for either the general public or one specifically for Senior Citizens, what sort of event would interest you enough to get you away from Yahoo answers and down to the museum? We need to get the local community more involved, so I’m looking for creative ideas that will interest people in the lost art of going to the museum! Be creative, it doesn’t have to center around Naval History, though that’s always a bonus!

So I grew up going to museums and you can literally see the fossils of how animals change over long periods of time. Like they have them lined up.

So do creationist just don’t go to museums? How come their parents never took them to a natural history museum when they were home schooled? Or is this all a trick by the devil, or the Illuminati, or more lies from the evilutionist?
