The Tacoma Museum of Glass

I'm kind of a museum junkie. It's the second on my to-do list when I travel, right after aquariums, and right before finding new and interesting restaurants. Basically, i like them all - except the Portland art museum, which is kind of small and dull, and very expensive.

I went to this summer, my two favorites were the Tacoma Museum of Glass, and the Legion of Honor.

The Tacoma Museum of glass just rocks. Partly because I love glass, partly because they do a great job with their exhibits - they always have something really cool and interesting - and party because they have an on site theater style glass blowing studio. You need a break from walking around staring intently at pretty things, you can go and space out and watch them make pretty vases and stuff. I could watch forever.
