I Love Exploring Museums

What is there about a museum that captivates the mind? Is it the history? Or is it the distinct dark, musky smell? The past holds much for one to learn from. It can be troubling or majestic...either way I lose my thoughts in the halls and exhibits often wondering what these things have seen through the years and what secrets do they hold?

I think it is the articles inside, you see a painting, a weapon, a tool and you imagine the things that they objects were witness to long ago, they speak to you in a silent way.

@Subsumedpat But it would be wonderous if they could spin their tales for us? That would be exciting.

@MaladyRed Yes it would, I read that some of the so called torture implements of the mid evil times were never used but were only invented for museums way back in the day. That sort of thing would not be the case today because we have so much information at out fingertips but back then who would know.
