Honolulu’s Bishop Museum offers the natural and cultural history of Hawaii’s indigenous people. Founded in 1889 by Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the last heir to Kamehameha I, you’ll find artifacts and exhibits representative of all the Pacific Islands.
A couple of my favorite highlights are the Science on a Sphere exhibit and the Science Adventure […]
I’m headed off to Italy for a couple weeks!
I’m traveling with some good friends, and am looking forward to seeing various part of that wonderful country. Art, culture, music. . . and, let’s face, it the great food and wine doesn’t hurt either.
You’ll still have lots of posts here at Flyaway Cafe, some I’ve done […]
One of the most famous museums in the world is the Louvre, or more correctly the Musée du Louvre, and it was one of the items that was high on my Paris must-see list. It is located on the Right Bank (of the Seine) in the 1st arrondissement.
Originally a palace, the museum is now […]
Bing, bing, bing. . . the bells, whistles, and bumpers of pinballs fill the air at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, while on display is the world’s largest pinball collection.
Established as a non-for-profit corporation, the museum showcases games from the 60’s to the present. It’s pure pinball, so deposit your coin […]
Since a good portion of my time in Paris was spent visiting museums, the Paris Museum Pass was both a money saver and time saver.
With the pass, you get admission to a number of monuments and museums in and around Paris. Best of all — you don’t have to stand in those long lines […]
Sometimes odd things catch my eye, and then I can’t get them out of my mind — no matter how hard I try. That’s sort of been the case with the Giant Baked Potato at the Idaho Potato Museum (formerly known as the Idaho Potato Expo) in Blackfoot, Idaho.
While I like a spud as […]
When I went to see finalists and winners of the 2007 Nature’s Best Photography International Awards, I expected to see those lions and tigers and bears, but what was on display there was a whole lot more than that.
I saw the award winners of this competition last year, and since I’m a big fan of […]
Fans of Kerouac, Burroughs, and Ginsberg, probably already know about The Beat Museum, and it’s certainly no surprise that the home of The Beats is now the home of The Beat Museum.
Having moved to San Francisco’s North Beach area from a prior location on the coast, The Beat Museum continues to celebrate the beatnik generation […]
Earlier this year I wrote about a great trip to Philadelphia, and a chance to view the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Franklin Institute (222 North 20th Street. 20th & Benjamin Franklin Parkway).
If you’ve been putting off visiting the exhibit, you have about a week and a half left before […]
Santa Fe’s Palace of the Governors was built in the early 1600’s as Spain’s seat of government. That didn’t work out so well.
Today, the Palace of the Governors is a Registered National Historic Landmark, and serves as New Mexico’s state history museum. At this oldest public building in the United States, you can follow the […]
