Discover American culture through its great museums

Museums are for the most part home to the arts, cultures, and history of a country. In the United States, there are dozens of museums scattered throughout its various states. In this proliferation of cultural centers, we can note some that are distinguished from others by their celebrity and especially by what they contain.

The Modern Art MUSEUM in New York

MoMA or Museum of Modern Art is a cultural center in the heart of New York City and one of the most attractive museums in the world. Indeed, visitors come from all over the world to explore this site dedicated to the modern era. Since its creation in 1929, it has not ceased to be particularly attractive, particularly because of the particular architecture of the building but also and above all by its various collections. Art connoisseurs will be more than happy to discover works by famous authors such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Dali, and many others.

The Guggenheim Museum in New York

museumAlways in this city, also known as the Big Apple, is another art museum namely the Guggenheim Museum. From its exterior appearance with a particular modern architecture to its exhibitions of works of art, this museum astonishes more than one visitor. A large collection of works for contemporary art is placed there. And moreover, the works are so special that the museum has some annexes such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice or the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin. There is even a plan to open a new center with the same name in Abu Dhabi in 2017.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston

As we talk about culture and history, going through the times is one of the best conditions. If modern art dominates museums in New York, here we are dealing with an old site that opened in the nineteenth century. His seniority has allowed him to accumulate a very rich and varied collection from around the world: Europe, Egypt, Asia, Africa and of course the own works of the United States. In addition, this museum is ideal for those who spend an extended stay in the States because it opens its doors to regular exhibitions allowing each time to make new discoveries.

Washington National Air and Space Museum


It is to the fans of the air movements that this museum is reserved. With nearly 5 million visitors each year, it is a center with a fine collection of aircraft for aviation including space shuttles and airplanes. What is more surprising than to be able to admire these devices closely and go around.

The list is still long and this post will not suffice to describe everything. The ideal would be to admire directly all these collections in these buildings with the particular architecture.
