OMG, I've only been to one!! I think MOCA LA and the Wignall Museum definitely need to be on this list. What can I do to increase attendance ....?
Fortunately, I have been to all except for 3 museums, the 2 in Russia and the one in China. Although I was in China for 3 days, all I remember was the Great Wall and the hospital, by age 9. I hope to see Russia some day and visit more of China in the next couple of years.
