25 Modern Museums

From Egg Cup Architecture to Sinuous Ribbon Museums

— November 3, 2009 — Art & Design
When you travel, it’s more than likely that you’ll spend a good portion of your trip checking out museums and the treasures they hold -- this I can tell you from experience. When I traveled in Europe, at one point it seemed that all we did was visit museums! Halfway through we could no longer take it anymore, however, if all the museums were architectural gems like these modern museums, it may have seemed slightly more promising.
