Geography asks three questions:I look forward to adding one marker to my museum life-list map today! When knowledge is under attack (see below), learning is productive resistance.
My visit will be to the Mystic Seaport Museum in coastal Connecticut. Admission is covered by my family's membership in the New Bedford Whaling Museum, which we visit frequently.
I have actually been on the property before, when the museum hosted a whaleboat race in 2017. My team did not win, but we did place ahead of the museum's house team! I look forward to the museum's latest special exhibit on the monstrous impact of whaling.

| The museums I have visited so far (and can remember). This is the red layer from my National Parks and Museums Life List map. Other layers are purple for national parks (also under attack) and yellow for my most important park and museum aspirations. |
As of this writing in August of 2025, the felonious president of the United States has decided to direct his incoherent fury at museums in general and our best museums (the Smithsonian) in particular. Of course, he is not curious or literate enough to have any direct experience with the museums he is attacking, but Stephen Miller has apparently decided that now is the time to go after the places he hates most.
My family is grateful for museums and we will continue to support them!
