• Did Five Faces of Genius inspire your artistic instincts? Discover your creative genius in a field trip with your cell to a local museum. For an international directory of local museums and information (i.e. hours of operation, admission coasts) see Musee, an online resource for international museums and museum information. There are many types of museums to choose from - whether they are science museums, history museums, or modern art museums - and all can offer opportunities for fresh insights! If you would prefer a virtual tour, check out WebExhibits, where there are specialized virtual exhibits in a variety of subjects, or Virtual Library Museums Site, which catalogues exhibits and programs from museums around the world.
• Did A New-Economy Fish Story give you the fever for the buzz of an open-air market? Although not all markets promise flying fish, many local markets exhibit a character all their own. Find a market near you at Open-Air Markets on the Web (an extensive listing of the web sites of international markets). Or for a listing of farmer's markets in the United States, see The U.S. Department of Agriculture. the Public Market Collaborative is a fascinating site with a virtual cornucopia of information about community markets. Look for the Project for Public Spaces which offers a short listing of public markets from around the world (with descriptions, historical backgrounds, and images) and also an interesting index of parks, plazas, central squares, streets, buildings and other community spaces to visit.
