If you’re looking for a chilled afternoon in a beautiful art space: consider visiting the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. The entrance is only $15 a day and you’ll have a grand time viewing the 14th century artworks.

The museum has a modern art collection that also includes sculptures in the garden. You won’t have to go far for a snack since they also have a cafe in the garden area with great coffee. If you want some fresh air, simply step outside to the patio to gaze at the green scenery sprouting around.

Andy Warhol Art

The museum holds a big private art collection, including this timeless piece by Andy Warhol.

Unwind Outside

After browsing through the modern art collections, you can give your feet a break outdoors and appreciate the tranquility of their small pond. It’s also a nice place to people-watch while pondering on the last artwork you just saw.

Degas’ Sculptures

The museum also features a special collection on Edgar Degas – a French artist who works in the 19th century and is popularly known for his paintings, sculptures, and prints.

There’s also an assortment of other impressionist artists if this style is more up your alley.

Looking for a place that will make you instantly feel better about all the terrible ideas that you ever had? The Museum of Failure is just the place! The traveling museum is currently located in the Swedish city of Helsingborg and comes with an impressive collection of completely useless innovations from all around the world.

Psychologist Dr. Samuel West founded this museum, after many years of seeking for spectacular commercial flops, which are now part of this exhibit. His goal was to show the world that acceptance of failure is necessary in order for innovation and progress to truly succeed.

“The Museum of Failure is a collection of over 100 failed products and services from some of the world’s best-known companies. Visitors will get insightful and entertaining glimpse into the risky business of innovation,” reads description on the official website of this quirky establishment.

Some of the items you’ll get to see if you ever visit this astonishing museum paved the way for many successful product that came after them. Others are there to remind us of the past long gone and represent the end of an era that’s never coming back.

After exploring a museum for a while, we all get a little bit tired, no matter how fascinating the subject might be. This phenomenon is known as “museum fatigue” and here are four ways to fight it.

Take Breaks

Travelers usually buy museum passes in an attempt to save money, but this also means you have to cover a lot of ground in a day or two. There’s nothing wrong with that, but make sure to take breaks between separate visits.

Don’t Go Alone

If you have someone willing to join you, make sure you don’t go alone. The time goes faster when you’re engaged in conversation about the pieces you like as you move on to the next ones.

Dress Comfortably

Buying a museum pass means you’ll be spending a whole day in different museums, so make sure to dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes.

Use Audio Guide

Audio guides will set a pace for your visit and provide you with enough background information to appreciate each piece you see. You can even admire them from a far while listening to your guide.

Museums are a cornerstone to any society, and they are a great way to get involved in the community as well as staying relevant in the art world. Museum entrances fees are normally fairly reasonable, but being a member of a museum can really open some doors for almost always a great price. If you are on the edge, go ahead and buy that museum membership.

Financially

In terms of money, a museum membership normally only costs the same as about 4 or 5 admission tickets, which means if you know you’re going to go more than that amount of times, financially it is worthwhile to get the membership.

Benefits

The benefits of joining a museum can vary, but they almost always include a discount at the gift shop, the cafeteria, and admission of one extra guest. All of that in and of itself makes the membership worth it, but often you can also get exclusive access to cafes and lounges, and maybe even first viewings of exhibits.

Support Local

Supporting your local museum is not only good for you, it’s good for the museum. Museum memberships shows that the community cares and values art, and that goes a long way.
