Museums are enormously popular. There are roughly 900 million individual visits to museums in the United States each year-about three visits per every person in the country, and around six times as many visitors as all professional sports events, combined. This book presents the story of a number of museums in the United States and some of their most interesting exhibits. Some of these museums are among the most famous in the world; others are obscure and quirky but feature an interesting topic. Some display dinosaurs, some have airplanes and spacecraft, some exhibit historical objects, and others focus on an array of specialized topics ranging from medical oddities to surfboards to motor vehicles to human funeral practices. Some are large and publicly-funded, and have existed as institutions for decades: others are tiny and privately-owned, the products of individual enthusiasm which may not endure for more than a few years. But all are worthy of a visit. Illustrated.
