Will you visit the Smithsonian before the exhibit closes at the end of the month?

    Sadly, it is.

  • I was just there about 2 months ago. First visit in almost 20 years! I was very disappointed in how poorly everything was displayed and lit. Everything appeared old and dingy.

    There were truly some spectacular pieces there. It is a shame that such coins will no longer be on display for the public to view.

    The ANA Museum in Colorado may have a great collection, but Colorado? Who ever goes there? Why don't they put it somewhere that people can actually see it?

    It IS where people can actually see it. Why do people on either coast always think that the central portion of the U.S. is the middle of nowhere? Not everything has to take place along the edge of the continent where no one who doesn't happen to live in that section of the country can attend. Denver has a world-class airport and busses and taxies are very reasonable--especially if you are used to east coast prices.

    Rant over.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I really wanted to in the worst way but I'm not going to make it. There should be a law that when an exhibit like that closes
    there is a one year notice.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I would love to, but I can't. If I lived in the NYC area still, we'd get a road trip planned!!!
