I once went to the Glass Museum in Corning, NY.

I recommend non-suicidal people stay away from it. I almost died from boredom.

My Dad took us there when I was in 6th grade or so. I still remember him demonstrating the optical interferometer to me which measured microscopic deformations of the surface. We also saw the extra blank for the 200 inch Palomar Observatory telescope mirror. One of many things he did to get me interested in science, technology, and engineering. Too bad you don’t enjoy such wonders—lots of us do.

Really, that’s a big favorite, great collection of ancient glass, and the layout of the museum should inform museum construction everywhere.
