MONA, Hobart
The Museum of New and Old Art, is the new draw card for tourists in Hobart and worth the trip
Museo Inka, Cusco, Peru
It's beneficial to get a guide to take you through the large Museo Inka in Cusco, having said that we didn't and still got a good view of all the the museum covered.
War Remnants Museum, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Mainly covers the American war, but I visited on both trips to Ho Chi Minh City in 2002 and 2009
Auckland Museum, New Zealand
The Auckland Museum has an impressive section on Maori and Polynesian history.
War Photo Limited, Dubrovnik, Croatia
One of the great ways to learn about history is through photos. There was one in particular taken during the Siege on Sarajevo that is still etched in my mind
Iolani Palace, Hawaii, USA
The only Palace in the USA, the guided tours give a glimpse into Hawaii's history as a monarchy
Love this post! I'm also an ubber museum/history geek and always seek out such places on my travels. I'm sad to say that when I visited Oahu last month, I walked the grounds of Iolani but didn't have time to tour. The Honolulu bus system was that bad (aka so slow). I feel bad that I was that close.
ReplyDeleteOn our recent trip to Africa the only place we really got to any sort of museum was South Africa. There's always next time in Oahu!
