Museum Monday: Museums Closed on Monday?

I love to visit museums, especially when I am traveling. On some subconscious level, I kind of instinctively know that most museums are generally closed on Mondays. I don't think I ever knew with any certainty the exact reason why they were closed. I just assumed that it was because they are open on the weekends and need a well-deserved day off.

Well, I recently discovered that, while that may be true, there are additional reasons, like cleaning, preparing and moving exhibits, etc. Why didn't I realize that? I take for granted that museums are magic and the exhibits magically appear, cleaned, curated, labeled, and ready for my visit. Yeah, well, everyone has to grow up sometime, so give me a moment. I just discovered my version of Utopia and I share the same reality. Never fear! I still believe they are magical and I have a solution. Let's start a "Museum Monday" each month, right here to pick up the slack. We will just be doing our part for museums everywhere.

Are there interesting exhibits at your area museum right now? Should those of us who believe in the magic of museums plan to visit?
