Museum Side Trip

Small, unusual and overlooked museums across America. Single-subject collections and the people who keep them.

What we cover

Museum Side Trip covers small, unusual and overlooked museums. Coverage is organised into 7 sections: Costs, Features, Guides, Industry, Maintenance, Reviews, Rules. There are 63 articles published so far.

How we work

Articles are written to be useful to someone actually doing the thing: specific, checkable, and honest about what varies by situation. Where a piece touches regulated work, it says so rather than implying the reader can skip a professional.

We correct mistakes rather than quietly editing them away. If a correction changes the substance of a piece, the article says what changed.

Following along

Every article appears in the RSS feed, which is the best way to follow the site without an account or a newsletter.
