This series on the blog highlights great places to see beautiful home design and/or historical home living. You might have never heard of some of these places or exhibits. Then again, you might find yourself closer to one than you realized and can add it to your list of things to see.

Most importantly, “Museum Hopping” guarantees the following:  No waiting in line, no security search, no coat check needed, no impatient yet loud crowds, no overpriced cafe food and no marble-floor-tired feet by the end of this post.

Here are the museums we have visited so far:

• Greenfield Village, in Michigan, USA
• The Thorne Rooms of the Art Institute of Chicago, in Illinois, USA
• The Benaki Museum, in Athens, Greece

If you love a good museum like I do, you might also want to explore the historic homes we visit in our BIG House Tours series. This series gives you each home’s history and takes you inside to see how they have been lived in over the years.
