#FriFotos Curated Collection: Museums

This week's #FriFotos theme is Museums. I've been to a few of those over the years... Take a look through my photos from my favorite museums all over the world!

 The Grand Staircase at the Hermitage. St. Petersburg, Russia.

 The Acropolis. Athens, Greece. This one may be pushing it --- but the entire thing is a giant museum, right???

Statues at the actual Acropolis Museum in Athens.

One of the coolest museums to tour, ever!
(Or as my friend Jesika calls it, Azkaban!)


The Egyptian Museum, Cairo

 So... This one's a cell phone (illegal) snap... Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Did you know they actually make you check your camera at the front gate? (I've never been so nervous about my camera. Ever.)

 The Louvre. Paris.

 Ellis Island. New York.

 Mt. Nebo museum. Jordan.

Another "illegal" shot - interior of "Netherfield Park" - 
the manor house used in the film Pride & Prejudice. Reading, England. 
Costumes and props from the film.

 The Carriage House. General Guadalupe Vallejo's Home. Sonoma, California.

 Navy Submarine (turned Museum). San Francisco, California.

 Viking Ship Museum. Oslo, Norway.




And, for le grand finale, my favorite museum on the planet:
 The Vasa Museum in Stockolm, Sweden. The ship is an actual warship that is several hundred years old. It sank in the Stockholm harbor just as it was christened and was only discovered and rescued from the depths in the 1950's.
