Reply to comment by gto1969jdg in TIL: The famous Alaskan sled dog "Balto" was preserved in taxidermy and is on display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Ohio. by alex6219

It is an absolutely charming relic of a silver age of museums. It's not shiny, glitzy, and multimedia-filled. It's a bit dusty, sometimes campy, and filled with little things that you didn't know you'd be happy you got to see.

Spending a day wandering in and out of museums around University Circle is undoubtedly time well spent.

I was just there for the first time last Friday! Absolutely lives up to the hype.

I'm also very jealous of their houseplants

Another old film museum that's charming and worth a visit is the Clackamas County Jailhouse in Astoria, Oregon. The same Jailhouse featured in The Goonies.
