From the Louvre in Paris to the Guggenheim in New York City, art museums help you look at something new. Learn to appreciate the many forms of art by visiting one of the many art museums around the world.
Versailles is one of those places that feels larger than life — the palace, the gardens, the fountains, the history. I’ve visited twice: once with kids in tow, once as a couple. Both trips were unforgettable, and both taught me the same lesson: Versailles is incredible, but it’s even better when you plan ahead. This…
Visitors will flock to see the Space Needle at Seattle Center. But did you know there’s an amazing glass garden next door? Chihuly Garden and Glass is a great opportunity to see some colorful glass sculptures. While they may be classified as sculptures, they are truly intricate pieces of art. I had no idea what…
People often think of Van Gogh as the art they see in museums. Famous paintings like The Starry Night (1889) or The Bedroom (1888). Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience not only brings to life the paintings, but also Vincent. In a way, it humanizes the man behind the art leading to greater appreciation of…

Las Vegas is known for lighted signs on casinos, hotels and more. But when the older lightbulb or neon signs are replaced with more modern designs, the old signs aren’t sent to a landfill. They’re donated to the Neon Museum Las Vegas as a way of preserving the cities history. My wife and I checked…

During my first visit to Versailles, I focused on the magnificent palace and gardens immediately surrounding it. During my second visit, I made it a point to explore the Estate of Trianon, which includes the Queen’s Hamlet and the Grand and Petit Trianon palaces. If you’re planning to spend any time in Versailles, I recommend…
The Louvre Museum in Paris is massive. With more than 380,000 works of art in its collection (and about 35,000 on display), it’s impossible to see everything in one visit. Chances are, you’ll only have a few hours before your Paris itinerary takes you to the next landmark. Rather than wandering aimlessly through the museum’s…
My son is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Greek and Roman Mythology. While visiting Nashville on business, I explored The Parthenon at Centennial Park to learn more about the mythology and share that with him when I got back home. While The Parthenon itself is an amazing work of art, the mosaic…
While working in New Orleans for business, someone recommended the sculpture garden at City Park. I was able to break away for an hour or two and explore the fabulous and relaxing garden.
