| - A beautiful FREE museum with a gorgeous indoor facade and loads of ancient artifacts. For the small fare of parking ($8 for 2 hours), you have access to over 5 galleries, including Egyptian and Syrian gems. It is beautiful to see the Syrian culture preserved, considering that their country is currently being destroyed by ISIS. Museum's such as the Cleveland Museum of Art are historical landmarks, that preserve culture, despite the tragedies occurring overseas. It was awesome to learn about the Syrian culture, and roam through the galleries (I get geeky about these things, shh!). The Silent Poetry exhibit incorporated loads of digital artifacts with a touch screen monitor linking a piece of interest to similar pieces (yay for museums using technology!). The Sphinx and Pyramids gallery was by far my favorite. The staff knowledgeable about the space, and pieces, and incredibly passionate as well. The restrooms, were beautiful (and clean, Woo!) and for a Saturday afternoon, it was not as congested as I had anticipated. If you find yourself in Cleveland with some time to spare, check out the Museum. It is on a beautiful spacious campus of a few acres, perfect for a stroll. Do it. Do it!
