Ok, so here is my 6 museums:
This is the Guggenheim in NYC. I really liked the layout of the museum. You took the elevator to the top, the 6th floor, and circled your way down. The layout made the whole place look bigger and brighter. Thre wasn't the usual stuffiness of museums. The art was more modern and took a little getting used to. Photography was not allowed inside the museum except where you first walk in. 
This is the Metropolitain Museum in NYC. It is massive. I actually haven't been in there in a long time. I remember the Egyptian exhibit from before, but forgot how impressive it really is. The extent the Ancient Egyptians creativity and expertise in art is amazing. It was a gorgeous Sunday morning and there were a ton of people in the museum.
This is the Wadsworth in Hartford. There was a great exhibit of photography in the museum. I love the different Buggies and their different accidents. Unfortunately the day I was there, there was an event going on. Plenty of tables being set up that it made it very hard to get closer to a few of the paintings. 
This is the Whitney in NYC. It actually was my least favorite museum. Two of the floors were shut off having the next exhibits installed. The ones that were open had very very modern art where it became difficult to appreciate. There was this part of the floor on one of the floors, I think it was the fourth floor, where the floor was mirrored. My friend who went with me and I were both wearing skirts. We both were about to step onto it, and jumped all the way back noticing the floor. We were quite amused.
This the the 
Yale Museum of 
British Art. I have been here a few times before throughout middle and highschool. There were a few paintings that struck me. I was also very impressed with the sculpture, probably more then the paintings.
This is the Yale Museum of Art. It is basically Modern art. I thought the wax portait above was very impressive. That medium is extremely hard to manuver and the detail is amazing. I loved the arches in the top left painting. I tried doing research into the painter, but there is not much known about him. 
So as usual I'm in a total rush to get from point A to point B (it's just the way I'm wired). I glanced at Google maps before making my trek and saw that the MET is butted up against Central park and got a general gist of how to get there from the Hudson. My girlfriend and I saw this huge museum and then immediately spotted rock star parking right near it. Out we hopped, rushed up the stairs (after snapping a few choice shots of the statue outside), and then stood in line for 20 minutes. We paid the $30 "donation", got our floor plan, made a quick bathroom stop, and then I looked at the map to plot out our course.... OOPS :) We were in the Museum of Natural History!!!
