Did you know May 18 is "International Museum Day" -- of all those in the world you've undoubtedly visited, which one stands at the top as a "don't miss" experience?
Stu and Nancy Epperson (Salem Communications): At the very top we love the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Why? Because of the high concentration of the Old Dutch masters (artists) like Jan Van Scorel, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, including our favorite Rembrandt and many, many more. What a feast!
Peggy Campbell (Ambassador): There's just something thoroughly "all American" about Cooperstown ... it evokes memories of listening to Vin Scully on my little transistor radio hunkered under the covers on a summer's eve. Runner up? As a kid who read all the Black Stallion series and worked hard to win a Palomino by cleverly naming one of Trigger's offspring, I was captivated as an adult visiting the museum at Churchill Downs. I once kept a list of Kentucky Derby winners ... hmmm, guess I need to add Mine That Bird!
Jim Sanders (Ambassador): No question . . . Smithsonian: National Air & Space Museum (on the mall and at Dulles). That museum houses all the inventions which were to flight, what the iPhone is to telephony. :)
Robert Jacobsen (Ambassador): The Hermitage in St. Petersburg – It was Kathrin the Great’s Summer Palace and is simply awe-inspiring. Rembrandt’s “The Prodigal Son Returns” moved me unlike any other painting has.
Anna Sinclair (Ambassador): The D’Orsay museum in Paris, France is amazing! It used to be a train station so the architecture of the building is very unique and lofty. When my family and I were there, we were fortunate to see the Degas ballerina sculptures on display – such a great experience!
What's your favorite?
