If you have any interest in seeing some of the classic advertising, I highly recommend checking it out. You can start with a <a href="http://www.mum.org/insideMUM.htm">tour of the museum</a> that begins with the image above, a description from about 1550 BCE on how lint (fetet) could prevent conception...</p> Museums Sun, 05 Mar 2006 21:33:29 -0800 http://highmaintenancemom.com/drupal/node/292 <p>I thought it would be fun to start a list of fun places to visit with kids. tld mentioned a few in her reply "Happy New Year" and I thought we could put them all in one place so when we travel, we can check them out. We love to visit children's museums, natural history museums, zoos, and science museums. Below are a few favorites from recent trips.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.picturebookart.org/">Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art</a> - Amherst, MA. The exhibits are kid-friendly and provide an excellent introduction to art museums. There is a studio for participating in projects and a library with more than 2500 picture books. The store is one of my favorites and includes books, cards, posters, and other exciting picture book-related toys, games and apparel (we love the logo and bought tshirts for the kids in addition to cards, books, etc.).</li> Lists Museums Travel Mon, 09 Jan 2006 07:49:26 -0800
