I am looking for examples of "museum malls," - places in cities where museums
(art, history, science, natural history), specialty sites (planetariums,
aquariums, IMAX theaters), exposition centers, etc. are agggregated to become
more attractive to the broad poublic than any individual might be separately.
 Some of those in larger cities come to mind immediately, such as Balboa Park
in San Diego, the Mall in Washington, Lakeshore Drive in Chicago, the
Cultural Center in Detroit, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.  Are there
similar malls in smaller cities as well?  What about any where museums are
aggregated with for-profit attractions?

Please reply off-line.
