Some will house modern art, others historical art; some will show solely paintings or portraits, while others might be dedicated to a single artist.

]]> 81638 2 0 Step Pick up local magazines Check out local city magazines, like Time Out or ones like New York Magazine in NYC

]]> 81639 3 0 Step Poll your party Poll the party you’ll be going with to see which museums they want to visit. Pick a place with something for everyone.

]]> 81640 4 0 Step Find visitor information Go online to find out what times the museum will be open, what the price of admission is, and whether and when any special exhibits will be available.

]]> 81641 5 0 Tip If you can, purchase your tickets online ahead of time, which will save you time—and maybe money—once you arrive.

]]> 81642 6 0 Step Research kids’ attractions If you have children, check to see if the museum has any special areas for kids.

]]> 81643 7 0 Step Research tours If you’re interested in a guided tour—which can be very informative—check the schedule and costs. If you’re in a foreign country, check the available languages.

]]> 81644 8 0 Tip Some museums stay open late one evening and/or charge no admission one day a week—do your research if your time and money are tight.

]]> 81645 9 0 Step Plan your excursion If the museum website provides online maps, take a look at them to plan your excursion. It’ll help you get to the exhibits you want to see.

]]> 81646 10 0 Step Check transportation Check for how you’re going to get there—by car, train, bus, or rickshaw. Be sure to have enough cash to pay for your transportation.

]]> 81647 11 0 Step Dress smartly Set aside clothing that’s both comfortable and appropriate for a museum. Ideally, nice but not restrictive. Remember that you’ll be on your feet.

]]> 81648 12 0 Step Prep the kids If you have children, just before you go make sure they’re fed, have gone to the restroom, and that they have enough energy for the excursion.

]]> 81649 13 0 Step Enjoy Now get to the museum and enjoy the art!

]]> 81650 14 0 Fact Some museums—like the American Museum of Natural History in New York—now offer sleepovers.
