If a museum were burning down and you could save 1 piece of artwork, which would it be and why?

In this scenario, the museum is theoretical, and it contains all of the important works of art that exist. You CANNOT pick artwork that HAS existed, but doesn’t anymore. You cannot pick more than one, and there is nothing you can do to save the rest of them, anything you don’t pick will be destroyed for all time.

The World’s Most Interesting Museums

Amit Kumar asked:


While enjoying your travel, it is also interesting to visit some educational places like the museums. Generally, when we speak of museums, many of the travelers would think that it is a boring kind of experience. However, why settle to those less interesting museums? Listed below are the few of the most unusual and interesting museums in the world that I am sure every traveler would enjoy visiting.

Museum of the medieval tortures in Prague – this museum is perfect to those who love to know the historic way of punishing people who have did something wrong to the government. Visitors in this museum will get the 45 minutes chance to be introduced with the 60 instruments use in torturing with the full details of how the said instrument work during the torturing and the next event happened to the person tortured by the said instrument. At the cost of $12, you will learn a lot from this amusing and unusual museum from Prague.

Museum of Bad Art in Boston – this is the home of those terrible painting artwork. Well at least if you knows nothing about art, you will now see the difference between a good and a bad work of art. For sure, those who are not knowledgeable with painting will definitely find it still beautiful and artistic. You might think why there is a museum for bad art. Founder Scott Wilson has apparently got a good taste for everything that stink that is why the moment the horrible “Lucy in the Field with Flowers” painting by an unknown author appeared he have thought of creating a museum wherein the said painting was the masterpiece. If you love paintings, visiting the Museum of Bad Art will let you enjoy about 400 works with no entrance fee.

The Three Musuem Of *** in Amsterdam, Paris, and Iceland – In the red lights district of Paris you will see The Parisian Musee de l’Erotisme that is located in a seven storey building in Quartier Pigalle. This *** museum is famous of its numerous *** shops, and the cabaret Moulin Rouge can also be seen in this place. You will also see various ****** items in this place including those coming from South Africa and Asia. Seeing all these ****** items will only cost you $12 for entrance. In Amsterdam on the other hand, you can visit the Museum in Amsterdam or the Venus Temple wherein various paintings, sculptures, manuscript and unusual ****** toys are presented. You will definitely find them ticking and exciting. See these items at $5. In Iceland, get the chance to visit The Museum of Phallology, which is located in a small town called Husavik. In this museum you will see about 250 kinds of phalluses, all natural, dried, and hung on the walls or been preserved in alcohol. People say that these are phalluses of every mammal in Iceland. Founder Hjartarson started his collection in 1974 that also includes salted horse penises. If you will visit the museum, you will see one empty glass, this is intended to host for a human’s example and has been already granted to the founder of the museum. At $7.50, you will see all of these phalluses.

What are some ideas for a western expansion museum exhibit?

October 5th, 2009
Ashley C asked:


I need to make a museum exhibit from the western expansion for my American history class. We need to make artifacts. People in my group already made

1. A model covered wagon
2. Medicine
3. Models of the people
4. The terrain
5. Supply list
6. Pan
7. Map
8. Fake gold bar

It cant be something too big like a pickaxe. We can’t go into the industrial revolution. Keep it to the oregon, santa fe, mormon trail and gold rush.

Oklahoma Railway Museum

Shane Wauhob asked:


Oklahoma Railway Museum is a major attraction in Oklahoma City, featuring a unique blend of heritage and skilful engineering. The remarkable collection at the museum includes diesel locomotives, a steam locomotive, passenger cars, freight cars and cabooses. The diesel locomotives of the past are in full working condition and are regularly operated by the museum. You could be part of the train rides the museum arranges.

The train rides give you an experience of traveling in antique rail cars and cabooses impeccably maintained and restored. The museum operates the train ride on the first and third Saturdays every month. In September, the train ride takes place only on the first Saturday, while in October the museum operates the ride only on the third Saturday. Kids would especially enjoy the ride down the heritage track that takes passengers towards downtown Oklahoma City. This is the old Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail.

A museum is all about exhibits, and at the Oklahoma Railway Museum you will find conserved rolling stock, structures and artifacts of a bygone era – not too far back, just the 19th and 20th centuries. The museum offers a unique insight into transportation by railroad and street rail in the past centuries, as well as its significance in the development of Oklahoma. 

One of the special events organized by the Oklahoma Railway Museum is the date with Thomas the Tank Engine. This steam locomotive icon of children visits every week for a “Day Out with Thomas”. Children’s birthday parties and other special events can also be hosted in the cabooses here.

The Oklahoma Railway Museum is one great family destination. Tourists would find this museum conveniently located close to hotels that provide affordable and comfortable lodging. Many hotels also arrange shuttle services to the major Oklahoma City destinations.
