National Gallery of Art

posted by DVC_Chris on 26 May 2009 at 13:10

When traveling to a city, one of my favorite past times is visiting their art museums, especially those that feature contemporary local art, as I feel it allows me to experience the vibe of the city. That is why in Greece I enjoyed the National Gallery of Art, where the vast majority of the collection is the work of 20th century Greek artists, in addition to a smattering of other European artists.

Gulbenkian Museum

When my wife and I were in Lisbon, looking for a good museum to spend an afternoon, the hotel concierge suggested we try out the Gulbenkian Museum. I really enjoyed it because has some amazing Egyptian antiques, as well as art dating back to the Persian Empire. It was a very enlightening trip.

Frederick's of Hollywood Lingerie Museum

posted by DVC_Chris on 25 May 2009 at 23:44

During my honeymoon, my wife and I wanted to do something fun and sexy when visiting Los Angeles, so we decided to go to the original Frederick’s of Hollywood Store, which also houses a lingerie museum. It was really entertaining to see all of the different kinds of lingerie in the museum, and my wife and I also really enjoyed shopping in the store afterward.

Dublin Castle

posted by DVC_Chris on 24 May 2009 at 04:00

Always interested in the history of Ireland, when I was visiting Dublin I felt a strong desire to visit Dublin Castle. Parts of it is over 700 years old, and has a strong significance in Irish history as it served as the seat of the Irish monarchy for many years. The tour is very informative about both the history of the Castle, and Ireland itself.

Vatican Museums

posted by DVC_Chris on 24 May 2009 at 03:37

The Vatican Museums were my absolute favorite tourist attraction to visit in Rome. In the museum are some of the most amazing pieces of artwork in the entire world, and the building itself, with its fresco ceilings, and mosaic tile floors is a work of art in and of itself. Just be sure to follow the rules, and keep elbows and knees covered, and you will have a great time.
