Hi,

I am looking for recommendations of Interdisciplinary Museums, preferable in the US, but international recommendations would also be appreciated.

Art & Science, History, or other combinations, it is the combination that is important. Also recommendations of museums that have multiple disciplines that combine occasionally would be great too.

 

Thank you!
