I like them, but I haven't gone in a very long time. =[

I like them, but I hate the travelling associated with the trip (going into DC as well as coming back from it). Both driving and taking the Metro each offer their own overload incitations. It's easier to view that art over the www so, I like virtual museums best. Although you can't meet anyone that way.

I like art museums, but the best ones are too far away, and those that are close by are not worth visiting.

Once you've seen the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, you're spoiled for anything less.

I've seen the Sistine Chapel and it's OK but that's not what art is about. I've lived in New York City and appreciated the Metropolitan, The Guggenheim, Peter Cooper, The Jewish Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, The Modern, The Whitney, and, of course, the many galleries. Here in Helsinki I regularly visit The Atheneum, Kiasma, Amos Anderson, and quite a few others. There is a lot of wonderful stuff in all of them and quite a bit of crap, but it's always fun to look and learn and try out new things for myself.
