“Houston’s Museum District is the place most outsiders flock to when they want to visit a wide variety of museums. I agree that this is a great place to start, but the fact is, there are many other excellent museums to visit in the Houston area that are located somewhere else in the city and a prime example is the National Museum of Funeral History. Most people feel a little creepy about visiting a museum dedicated to funerals and dying, but once you experience this hidden gem, you will wonder what ever held you back. The museum does include a large number of hearses, coffins, etc, like you would expect, but it has much more to offer than that. The section on presidential deaths, the tomb of the unknown soldier, the life and deaths of Popes, and others will pique your interest and keep you browsing. One section at the National Museum of Funeral History that caught me by surprise is the one dedicated to celebrity deaths. Here, you will learn about famous people, many of whom died younger than expected. They even have copies of the actual funeral order of service/program that was used when the celebrities died and they have exhibits and audio that take you back to fateful moments, like when John Lennon was assassinated. To keep things entertaining, the National Museum of Funeral History has videos, trivia, and other fun, interactive moments, like creating your own epitaph. The gift shop is larger than expected and it is where your visit begins and ends. They have several t-shirts that are quite amusing and I recommend buying at least one before you go. Houston’s museums are many and while the National Museum of Funeral History isn’t as well known as the ones in the Museum District, it is definitely a place you need to visit. The many exhibits, the hearses on display, the educational lessons, and so much more add up to a museum experience like few others.”
Address: 48 Wharf Rd, Bolinas, CA 94924, USA
“A delightful surprise - a diverse and I think significant collection of art from local artists, and a few historical artifacts in a pleasantly maintained courtyard and music garden. And then you are there along the cool northern California coast and the sounds of the birds and sea winds. And the odd dog or two wandering around ... it is Bolinas after all -- although it is now ridiculously expensive and uber-trendy west Marin County.”

“Roadside parking at the top lower/upper creek trails. Cars drive fast/carlessly on this road so watch when loading and unloading bike. Nice starting point for short down to steep switchbacks or down creek trails to main parking lot.”

“I went here for a field trip and it was amazing! The bathrooms are clean, fun activities, the planetarium was amazing and super cool. I didn't any of the food because my school brought us lunch. We saw 5 different fire colors, and they made fire out of a powder! Totally recommend coming here”

“The museum was much larger than we expected and many of the ceiling fans are wired. Our son loved going up and down the aisles and trying out all of the remotes. One of the owners showed us around and the lady working the front desk is really friendly. The trip was definitely worth it!”

“The tour was amazing. We learned so much about the translation process and why it can take so long to translate the Bible into another language. The tour guide presented information in an entertaining way -- even the teens in our group were fascinated. The gift shop was also great with plenty of reasonably-priced merchandise. Definitely worth a visit.”

“The Hart Nautical Gallery is part of the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Admisaion to the gallery is free. It can be accessed through the MIT entrance at 77 Massachusetts Avenue. There are no signs pointing the way. You are on your own when you get there. The gallery is one large room plus a hallway with displays of full-hull ship models that chronicle several centuries of ship building and design. I didn't count myself, but the website said there were 40 models. There are some ship blueprints displayed as posters on the walls. At first, I had the same reaction as a few other reviewers, ho-hum. But the intricate detail of the models brought me into the lives of the people who designed and built these ships and the lives of the people who sailed them. As a matter of fact, I would have liked to know more about the number of sailors it took to launch a voyage. It is well worth a stop. I put a slideshow of some additional photos of the models on YouTube.”
