I love museums, being near DC gives me great access to many Smithsonian museums which are some of the best in the country IMO.
That's awesome. DC has lots of nice art, natural history, and science museums
Absolutely! Have you ever been to any of them?
Yeah I went to several of them when I visited DC 10 years ago. They do a good job of serving the general public.
I agree. My favorite is the Air and Space museum.
Yes that one was really cool. Have you ever been to the Louvre in Paris or the  Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City?
No but I want to see both someday! I heard the Mona Lisa is on display at the Louvre.
I think it is. I've been to Paris but unfortunately didn't get a chance to visit the Louvre. It's one of the world's most visited museums.
Cool, do you know if any famous works are at the Met in NYC?
Museum
