I washolding out, but can't resist.  My two are:
At the museum of questionable medical devices ( a true treasure!), the
phronology (sp?) machine, which works.  You can still get a reading based on
the bumps on your head.
The other is at the Witte Museum in Austin, where you can smell the mummies
hand.  Those of involved in the museum seminar were driven to great
discussions on this one.

>For me, two early and unforgettable museum experiences were 1) The Museum
of Science in Boston. In the entry/lobby area there was (is?) a very
large/long pendulum which swung just off the surface of the floor. On the
floor there was a large "clock" with domino-like blocks standing on the
hours. Every hour the pendulum would knock over one of the blocks. I could
have watched that thing for hours. As a young child it was an amazing
illustration of the spinning cosmos. 2) I remember visiting one of the early
museum trains (smithsonian?). The

sneakers (size 32 or something - they were impressive)!

we consider "unforgettable". For instance I have no idea what the theme of
the train exhibit was (ie what I was supposed to learn), all I remember are
the sneakers........
