What's happening at your local museums?
Many major metropolitans have an abundance of museums. There are many museums in small communities that go unnoticed. We went to a Petra's Stone Museum in Stöðvarfjörður on the Eastern side of Iceland one year, it was in some old lady's house and backyard. She collected rocks from all over the area since she was a little girl.

So one cannot dismiss the idea that a museum must be this huge building with antiquities or art and history.
But the major museums, they generally have some sort of program changes that highlight some period, era, interest.
Post a nearby museum and what's currently happening there.

The Moores: An Irish Family in America
Experience the heart of the immigrant saga through the music of Irish America, then tour the restored home of the Moore family, Irish-Catholic immigrants coping with the death of a child in 1869. Compare their struggle to keep their family healthy with that of the Katz family, Russian-Jewish immigrants who lived in our tenement in the 1930s.
This tour goes to the 4th floor of our tenement, which is 61 steps up, then 53 steps down.
