I'm the absolute most embarrassing, notorious, typical tourist so I LOVE museums and anything "touristy" for lack of a better word. Basically, I loved this museum and I was in pure bliss for a few hours while visiting.
I came here after work (a super short walk from CMU) and spent 2 hours just wandering from exhibit to exhibit. From the dinosaurs to the modern art, I thought all of the displays were awesome. I think this is a perfect place for kids to explore and learn with the visual and interactive displays and also possibly a cute date idea!
