A wonderful museum marred by the unfortunate intrusion of inconsistently upheld policies. \n\nI have never been to a museum where I was forced to check my baby's diaper bag at the front desk. We were informed it was because many of the pieces were donated and the museum didn't want to risk the items getting wet from spilled formula or other liquids. Um. Okay....\nI guess that would be fine if we didn't see at least a dozen people walking around with diaper bags and two people openly feeding liquids in the viewing rooms to their babies. I'm not sure why we were singled out, but it definitely put a damper on what would have otherwise been a 5 star experience. \n\nThe museum itself is amazing. The collection of pieces is stunning. It is A LOT to take in so plan to spend a good portion of your day here or break it up over a few days. Every possible culture and country and civilization imaginable is represented at the MIM. So much to see and experience. I do plan to go back...just not with my baby.
