In passing, I notice that in your comments on museums in New York, you omitted the Brooklyn Museum, which has one of the finest permanent collections of Egyptian art in the world and was the first museum to display African objects as art.

I'm just chucking rocks - nice to see someone awake - gg - I think of Paris because they don't just have art, but wonderful musea of natural history and technonogy. But I do think the world of DC's musea. I think my favorite spot on the whole planet (not counting Mauna Kea) is the Air&Space Museum. I just wish they kept it more "hard core". Tearing out an Experimental and Test Flight wing and replacing it with a Star Trek exhibit is populism gone wrong - but hey, mho <edit> Joan - I guess my weighting for museum excellence almost ignores art. I look for world-class natural history musea as my baseline. DC is world-class - but so are NYC, Paris, Vienna ... and others that I haven't visited. Chicago?
