I would be classified as a non museum person. While I do enjoy visiting them, I do not want to spend hours and hours examining every nook and cranny. In saying that this one looks like it would be quite interesting. I try to avoid museums as much as possible but when you travel as much as we do you can't avoid every museum. David finds it amusing that we have reversed the gender roles here. He quite likes museums. When we went to the Louvre many years ago he though it was odd that all I wanted to see was the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo but when we got there there were signs directing the public to three exhibits - the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory.
It turned out that he was the odd one out - haha! I think 2 days would not be enough to even see the grounds, let alone the 90, items in the collection. A fascinating place that I never new existed in Delaware.
I guess I'm not really a museum person but I live nearby and had a membership to Winterthur. I never even went in the museum in the first five years. I did go times a month to walk the gardens. I did enjoy the changing colors. I can understand why you went to the gardens. They are lovely. Even though I am not a museum person I would have liked to have seen the soup tureen collection if only for its novelty value. Sadly, we ran out of time. I envy you living in such a beautiful corner of the planet.
Lyn I laughed and laughed at your strategy. I'm one of those the best stories come from things gone bad but getting arrested may put a damper on the writing. I agree that I am not much of a museum goer. We arrived at the Vatican just before it closed. A great time crowd wise but be prepared to dash about like a maniac to hit the prime spots.
Haha - we did more or less the same thing. We saw the Vatican okay but when we went to see the Sistine Chapel we joined the wrong queue and ended up seeing the Cupula instead. It was lovely - one of those mistakes which turned out well but it did mean we had very little time for the actual Sistine Chapel so we had to walk straight past the Vatican Museum without seeing a single exhibit.
