Truly beautiful, inspired, & everchanging; the museums of America are collosal collections driven by the early efforts of a few visionaries and the continued efforts of those who wish to continue their great legacy. Interactive in conservation, discovery, & preservation, these institutions strive to share with the world something far greater & more important than a few dusty artifacts; they represent the breadth of the human experience and the wealth of our collective history. I was surprised by the magnificence of the collections and inspired by the determination of the people who continue to make it possible for all of us to share. Kudos to each and every one of the organizations & individuals that make such galleries of wonder a reality.
