Art museums, Artists/members?

[Howie]

Every vacation that i have gone on I either drag my friends or family to the local art museums in that locality. Now I drag my wife. It has come so that she enjoys this a lot. So after discussing this with her we would like to go on a mini vacation to visit some of the best museums or galleries in the US. I can't realistically travel from Ohio, where we are from to the east coast then to the west coast so I must focus on a somewhat small area unfortunately. So given that information, does anyone have an opinion of the best art museum or a range of great museums and galleries? I was thinking New York for starters.?. I wonder if anybody or agencies sell packages for something like this. oh yaa, also realistically this will not be happening for a few years. Gives me something to look forward too hough. ~ Europe maybe someday
