I operate a website that might be of value in your search for "hip-cool-must-see" museums in the United States. Some of the more topical areas of my site that you might wish to explore are (1) the "global museum search" which contains many listings of U.S. museums, along with websites, searchable by collection type, city, etc. - (2) the "showcase", which amounts to a list of 50 stellar stateside museums. Plus - I just added a convenient "click to search" feature on the front page, with transportation museums included. http://museumstuff.com Enjoy your trip. I'm jealous!
