Exploring the best in art, science, and history means taking a trip to some of the best museums in America, whether that means an afternoon of fun or a membership that grants you and the kiddos a full year of discovery. It might even mean planning the next family vacation around where you can see the biggest collection of fossils, the most famous pieces of art, or even the farthest stars and planets.
