i was surprised the holocaust museum in DC didn't make the list, but i've never been to the boston one. is it more comprehensive?

also, i have a suggestion for a 5th science museum: the exploratorium in SF!

I have never been to the Holocaust museum in DC, but thanks for the rec! The Boston one is just a memorial, not comprehensive. Check my album Vacation 2009 for a photo of it. It's close to the North End.

And HOW could I forget the Exploratorium?!
