Museums I keep returning to

A running list of the museums I actually revisit, not just the ones I tell out-of-town guests to see (though a few overlap). I started keeping track after noticing how often a weeknight 'quick errand near the park' turned into two hours standing in front of one painting. These are the ones that earned a repeat visit, ranked by nothing except how often I think about them while waiting for the N-Judah.

The list
