What's the best museum in your country?

>>212139050 (OP)
Museo 31 minutos

>>212139190
baila sin cesar

I love the MET. Admission is up to you (I usually pay $1), and the place is huge. It's basically impossible to see everything in one day if you actually care about history and spend time looking at things.

It's a world class museum.

>>212139050 (OP)
i thought it was a big oreo cookie

>>212139293
One of my favorite displays in this museum is this thing, because it reminds me of rotisserie chicken

>>212139050 (OP)
I like air and space in DC, but Yellowstone or the met is up there

*makes brown people go fucking INSANE*

>>212139293
hopefully someone bombs it

There's a museum island in the centre of Berlin with I think 5 or 6 musea. Be aware though that the famous Pergamon Museum that has the Ishtar Gate from Babylon (the original) is closed for renovation for the next 20+ years.

>>212139531
but the bomb would destroy the rotisserie chicken statue from your country

The Vasa Museum.

>>212139538
>Closed for 20+ years
holy shit

>>212139678
20 years is not much in Europe.
Some churches, cathedrals, old buildings can be under renovation for a century.

Unironically the Museum of Polish Jews in Warsaw, it's one of the biggest and most advanced in the entire country. It also serves to prove our masters that we will always be good goys <3

We don't really have any impressive museums, especially compared to our neighbours. But we do have a neat open air museum where you can go and visit the Italian front of WW1 and walk through trenches and bunkers up in the mountains

>>212139763
renovation and being closed are very different things

>>212139763
Damn, if I was a worker in the renovation effort, I too would say that it will take 100+ years.

Sweet sweet money haha. Maybe I will pass that job to my kids too.

>>212139946
Full structure renovations always mean a closed building. It's general safety protocol and no insurance would ever allow people in a building when heavy construction, drop risk and air pollution is a risk.
I've been in constructional repairs for over 15 years. We do the same here in Sweden, only difference being we don't have the same scale of buildings or the same age of construction meaning it might take a few months instead of a decade or more.

>>212139763
I'm thinking of the disaster that was the Berlin Brandenburg Airport. If that's anything to go by, the famous museum might be closed for the next 60+ years even.

>>212139050 (OP)
Is that the Oreo museum?

>>212140171
Yep. We all know how it's gonna go. They have a budget, it will be way too small, companies will fight over contracts when others drop out, court meetings to discuss new budgets and plans, change of those plans, new budgets and on the eternal circle goes.
That's my life everyday.

The Chester Beatty Library is a good one. There's Bibles from the first few centuries AD, samurai armour, robes belonging to the Chinese emperor, etc. The story behind it is pretty funny too. Chester Beatty was an American millionaire who travelled the world collecting stuff with giant stacks of cash. He settled in London with his collection but the British wanted to rake him over the coals in taxes. That's when the Irish government approached him and said he wouldn't have to pay a cent in taxes, so long as he lets the state inherit his collection after he dies.

>>212139050 (OP)
i wanna eat that big cookie

>>212139050 (OP)
theres stuff in our museums that we should keep hidden from foreigners

>>212140315
we should murder those responsible for the law of offentlig upphandling (public negotiations). I've seen office curtains cost 20k per window when at ikea it would be 1/10th the price.

>>212140606
then why do you post it here you faggot?

>>212139664
nice. you guys keep any intact viking ships?

>>212140777
Yeah everything is retarded. And it's insanely annoying for us grunts who actually do the work.
Pretty much in every single case, it could be done in 1/10th of the time, for under half the cost if they used common sense. But a dozen different sides wants to make money and it's just a shitfest.
Ironically enough, the easiest build I've worked on was Karlatornet. The budget was so high from the start that even the designers and architects could go wild. They just said "do this" and instead of us waiting for approval from several sides we just got cleared to do it right away. The giant damn thing went up faster than most 10 story buildings do even with the mess Serneke caused in 2019.

>>212140936
so you know to avoid em

>>212139664
going there this weekend, what should i expect?

>>212140952
In Sweden, no. The Äskekärr ship (link and pic) is the only "intact" once we have found in Sweden.
But Denmark and Norway have a couple in awesome shape if you google it.

>>212141046
Never been before? It's great. I suggest you take one of their free tours. They start every 15 minutes or so I think and they lead you around the museum and explain things and show all the cool stuff.
Also, it can be quite chilly in there even now during summer due to climate controlled environment and stuff to protect the ship.
Plus it smells like a sauna kek.

>>212140952
This is the Norway one.

>>212141216
imagine 50 BWC's on that thing crashing onto your shore

>>212139050 (OP)
I mostly know NRW museums, but if you ever visit Cologne you should check out their museums for old masters, contemp. art and the museum for medieval chuch art.

>>212141268
First you would hear the Drakkar drums if it was foggy or night (usually was). Then the men. Then the sound of weapons and shields.

Must have been a pretty shit morning for those people.

>drakkar drums (dragon ship drums) were large skin drums found in viking burial ships that were used on Viking ships to help the crews keep rhythm while rowing and from written accounts were also a psychological tool during raids as the low bass frequency was perfect for traveling over water and would reach the target before they could be seen
They had their own OST? Kek.

>>212139393
the one from fallout 3?

>>212141216
>>212141128
very nice and based

>>212139293
>>212139376
i remember this one from the level with the dinosaurs from parasite eve.

>>212139050 (OP)
Is that Oreo factory?

>>212139050 (OP)
Best? Well the obvious choice is the Louvre. But you have so many options in Paris, one of the only reasons that make me come back here from time to time.
Personally, my favorite museum is the MAD (musée des arts décoratifs).

>>212139050 (OP)
The one I work at, because I get paid for going there instead of the opposite.

>>212139050 (OP)
How does it not fall off?

>>212144403
the oreo frosting sticks it to the wall

>>212139050 (OP)
Vasa and the Medieval Museum in Stockholm.
Both are pure kino.
