Museums Are Super Perfect Date Spots
Jenna Reed
...and no one can tell me otherwise. Mind you, I've never been in the "dating scene" before, really. Regardless, my partner and I love going to museums together (and he isn't really the artsy-type dude, either).
Museums are one of the best places to get to know each other; from prompting compelling discussion, to the quiet and sometimes cozy atmosphere.
Does your partner prefer the modern art exhibits, or would they rather see some old-school Flemish paintings? Maybe they're more into sculpture, or maybe you can show them why you love sculpture so much.
It's the perfect place for hand-holding and getting close. There's lots of walking and wandering, pauses to put an arm around one another; there are whole empty sections and rooms filled with nothing but artwork, even in the most popular of museums.
Some have the added benefit of a nearby slice of gold to snag a cocktail or a bite to eat. For example, the Met has their Roof Garden Bar, or the museums in DC have the bonkers lineup of food trucks at the Washington Mall.
There's a museum for everyone: into dinosaurs? Visit the American Museum of Natural History. Love music? Maybe check out the EMP Museum in Seattle. If you're fascinated by serial killers or true crime, there's a Museum of Death in New Orleans and Hollywood. The Field Museum in Chicago is one of the largest museums of natural history in the wold!
Many art schools have student exhibits, sometimes they're even free! Some museums are surrounded by beautiful gardens to take a stroll through.
Museums are everywhere, large and small. Begging for people to come through and see all they have to offer.
Museums can evoke feelings within all of us... we all interpret displays differently. That kind of makes it especially beautiful though, right? Discussing different perspectives really makes the world go 'round! It's a beautiful thing.
