We just returned from Toronto and visited several museums, including a few off-beat ones: Corning Museum of Glass, the Bata Shoe Museum, the Textile Museum of Canada, the National Comedy Center, and the Luci Desi Museum. Corning Museum of Glass is in Corning, NY; the Comedy Museum and Luci Desi Museum are in Jamestown, NY. If you watch old ‘I Love Lucy’ TV shows, you’ll enjoy the Luci Desi museum.
Our family makes it a habit to visit odd museums, such as The Électrium, the Health and Medicine Museum, or the National Building Museum. (During one visit to the National Building Museum, my son said he would like to see the display of chairs and couches.). We’ll hear of a museum and say, ‘That sounds different.’ and plan a visit. Off-beat museums tend to appeal to kids. The Bata Show Museum has everything from historic foot ware to sneakers. Bata has an amazing area for kids, including a shoe, dress-up area. We just like to be surprised. Many, many times, the off-beat museums are full of fun!
