In the book, The Dead Toad Scrolls, Kilroy J. Oldster writes that "examination of our past is never time-wasting. Reverberations from the past provide learning rubrics for living today."
It’s an excellent quote that stresses the importance of learning from our past. And there’s no better education on our history as humans – and as a planet – than in the halls of museums.
But not all museums are alike. The collections at museums are often unique and hold artifacts that are either rare or one-of-a-kind. Every museum experience is different, so if you’re interested in learning about a particular era or a specific artist, you should plan your museum visits ahead of time.
