The Best Museums in California
Skim through the must-visit attractions in Los Angeles and you’ll notice a trend: It’s a lot of outdoorsy fun. So committing to a day inside of a museum might pose a tough undertaking. In fact, choosing anything over a 75-and-sunny day at the beach is a hard ask—especially if you’re visiting from a country with a colder climate.
But here’s the thing: No matter how good the weather, visiting L.A.’s museums is essential. Among the city’s best things to do, Los Angeles museums rival those in Chicago, Washington D.C. and New York—without a doubt. And, lucky you, a whole bunch of them have stunning outdoor campuses, with hilltop views, sculpture gardens and sunny courtyards.
River Fox Train - Sacramento: The Amazing Sacramento River Fox Train : Unique Excursions Year Round. Halfway through the train ride we will stop at our river-side park and de-board so guests can do their own gem mining!
This family-friendly ride is suitable for all ages so bring the whole family and spend the day relaxing on the rails!
California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco): With an aquarium, planetarium, and museum all rolled into one, the Academy stays packed with families perusing the Rainforests of the World annex (a four-level glass tower comprising four countries' native species) and taunting Claude, the resident albino alligator.
Walt Disney Family Museum (San Francisco): A chronological history of the Disney family, this new Presidio collection chronicles the span of Walt's life and career. Surprisingly, the museum caters more to adults than children, since history is its focus. Advertisement
The Exploratorium (San Francisco): The hands-on, interactive Exploratorium boasts 650 exhibits that help show how things work. California State Railroad Museum (Sacramento): Old Sacramento's biggest attraction, the 100,000-square-foot museum was once the terminus of the transcontinental and Sacramento Valley railways. It displays dozens of locomotives and railroad cars, among other attractions.
Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles): Designed by Richard Meier and completed in 1997 to the tune of $1 billion, the Getty Center is a striking, starkly futuristic architectural landmark, with panoramic views of the city and ocean. The building itself is enough reason to visit, but so is the permanent collection, the crown jewel of which is Van Gogh's "Irises," which the museum paid $54 million to acquire. The gardens and vistas are beautiful as well. Advertisement
Petersen Automotive Museum (Los Angeles): This museum is a natural for Los Angeles, a city whose personality and history are so entwined with the popularity of the automobile. Impeccably restored vintage autos are displayed in life-size dioramas accurate to the last period detail. Upstairs galleries house celebrity vehicles, car-related artwork, and exhibits.
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego: San Diego's internationally respected contemporary art museum operates three facilities, including the downtown Jacobs Building which transformed a portion of the historic train station into one of the city's cultural icons. Together with its other downtown annex and the flagship space that overlooks the ocean in La Jolla, MCASD stakes its claim as the boldest, most important museum in San Diego.

teeeell us: How did Larkspur lost her arm? :O
From a very young age, Larkspur had always had a fascination with mechanics. It didn’t matter the kind, she loved it all. That obsession was most definitely spurred by her childhood home: a former auto museum situated in New Reno. The museum had featured fake streets to imitate the time period of each display, built before the war, so hers and several other families moved in and created a perfect indoor world there to stay sheltered away from outdoor dangers. She was surrounded by vintage cars and motorcycles that had not run in centuries, some even with antique combustion engines instead of the much more common fusion engines, and she always swore that one day she would get one working.  
Long story short, she did. She had fallen in love with a Vincent Black Lightning, the most beautiful bike she had ever seen and by all the decrepit literature surrounding it in the museum, the fastest one of its time. She spent years tuning it to work again, hours and hours reading any book she could about motorcycles and engines to restore it to a functional state, and when she finally turned it on and took it riding for the first time, it was unlike anything she ever could have possibly dreamed about. She loved that bike more than anything.  
Until she wrecked it. Quite triumphantly. The bike was destroyed, and her arm was mangled beyond saving. She never missed her arm or even had much to say about it after it needed to be amputated, but she is still in mourning over the death of that bike to this day.  
Tumblr media
She had a tattoo of the bike done by Georgi Lanzaro in Freeside, to forever remember the beauty of that Black Lightning that had slipped through her fingers… And took half of them with it.
(thanks for asking! this gave me a good excuse to draw her tattoo reference. The larkspur tattoo comes from here . Also check out this song .)
