The 15th of January, is National Hat Day, so make sure to cover your head with something, preferably a hat. Speaking of coverage, the blog has only paid a visit to one hat museum before, specifically Hat Works in Stockport, England. But there are a lot of hat museums out...
Rosh Hashanah began last night, September 28th, at sunset and will not officially end until tomorrow night. Let’s party like it’s 5772! And speaking of Jews, probably one of the most random museums ever is the National Museum of American Jewish Military. No disrespect here. After all, I have a...
