I would suggest the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California (<a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/">http://www.computerhistory.org/</a>). Their new 25,000 sq. ft. exhibit on the first 2,000 years of computing is amazing. It&#39;s well laid out, has interesting video components, and takes what could be a very dry subject and interprets it in fascinating way.<br>

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] examples of great museums<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

My board has asked me to create a list of museums that are great 
examples of cutting edge, relevant, exciting, interactive, not-to-be 
missed museums. This could also be particular exhibitions in museums. 
Ideally, these are in the US because we would like to visit them. 
However, some members of my board are lucky enough to travel 
internationally so if you know of museums out of the US that are not to 
be missed we’d like to know about them.<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

Thanks so much for your help.<br>

<br>
