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
only thing I clearly remember were Bob Lanier's (I think) basketball sneakers (size 32 or something - they were impressive)!

ps. it occurs to me that individual memory plays a significant role in what 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........

pps. I agree that the "werewolf" takes the cake so far.
