Not a museum but if in London, consider a visit to The Kennel Club Art Gallery and Library with it’s collections of art, dog literature etc. Located in Mayfair, it makes for a great outing. We recently took one of our lovely THS dogs there. He was even able to have his photo taken with The Crufts “Best in Show” trophy- made for lovely pupdates for the HO too. The dog library is the biggest in Europe. It’s free and dog friendly of course. It’s by appointment only so do call them in advance. They also do breed specific tours for 10+ people including lunch for a fee. Highly recommend!

A museum I often recommend is The Hallwyl museum in Stockholm, Sweden
The Hallwyl Museum was originally built as a private residence in 1893-1898 for Wilhelmina and Walther von Hallwyl. In 1920 the house with all its contents was donated to the nation, and the museum opened in 1938. The museum project was part of an international trend, and Wilhelmina counts as one the great collectors of her time. We were told that she had planned everything herself - so that when she died everything was catalogued and she had glass doors made to put on the cupboards. You really feel they are just out for a minute. Do take the guided tour.
In Copenhagen you will find something similar, an apartment now belonging to the National museum, I think:
Haven’t visited that yet.
I love quirky museums, and liked the Sewer museum in Paris
And the learning centre of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York

Admission for the latter was very restricted so it is necessary to be ready when tickets for time you want is released. The bonus is that you get to go with the underground elevator and see the gold vault if you’re lucky.

I took these photos at The Palace Museum (Forbidden City) in Beijing, China, during a day tour. I really had fun, and I’m planning to go back.

As an admirer of Van Gogh’s work, I thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
Here are a few of my favourite pieces.

If you happen to be in Oxford, England then you might want to visit the History of Science Museum which is open Tuesday to Sunday 12-5pm. It’s the world’s oldest surviving purpose-built museum building which houses an unrivaled collection of early scientific instruments and is also home to a blackboard used by Albert Einstein during a lecture in Oxford in 1931.

Hi @Crookie
Also, you might be interested to visit Blackwell’s bookshop which is opposite the museum. We have always been amazed when we have been in there, particularly on our last visit when we discovered The Norrington Room as shown in my photo below. Be sure not to miss it!
Trading since 1879, Blackwell’s of Oxford is the largest academic and specialist bookseller in the UK, and one of the most famous booksellers in the world.

Hi @Sam_F when I looked this up on Google maps there are 2 stores in Oxford with similar photos to yours. Are you able to give me the address please where you took this photo?
Hi @Crookie
It’s Blackwell’s Bookshop located at 48-51 Broad St, Oxford OX1 3BQ. 
Agreed! It’s even worse when the throngs of people are only there to snap some photos for social media and check that place off their touristing list. I remember visiting Versailles and looking around me in the Hall of Mirrors… almost no one was actually looking at the architecture or art. They were all just snapping photos and then moving on to the next😞
But to answer the original question, there’s no way I could pick a favorite museum! Too many good ones, and each for their own unique reasons.
But recently, I stumbled across the Dublinia in Ireland. It’s fairly small and not packed with visitors but presented tons of interesting history through quirky interactive and immersive displays. I definitely recommend it!!
