That included the Imperial War Museum and the British Museum. A really amazing resource but it appears defunct now?

It is a phenomenal resource, and I experience no little swell of pride when I read posts like this one, acknowledging that fact. A few years ago, during the 2010 elections, The Daily Show did a bit making fun of the supposed differences between northern and southern Delaware (the southern part being widely blamed for Christine O'Donnell's unseating of Senator Mike Castle in the primary). One person claimed the North was more cultural, pointing to the greater proliferation of museums, and the interviewer flashed a map on the screen, claiming that there are only two museums in Wilmington. Funny joke, if it were true. Not only was Winterthur unaccounted, but also The Hagley Museum and Nemours (just to name the most glaring omissions). Wilmington is a small city, but its cultural resources are magnificent, and I wish more people (including many who live here) were more aware of that fact.Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-53052949364659403872013-01-22T15:41:09.588-05:002013-01-22T15:41:09.588-05:00Have you spent any time on bildindex.de?
