National Museum of Wildlife Art

This gorgeously designed museum was built with irregularly sized stones cemented into the structure and is inspired by a castle in Scotland. The museum is the permanent home to a vast collection of art from the likes of Georgia O'Keeffe and Andy Warhol. A first-class education about the history of wildlife and nature in works of art cost about $15 for an adult, but make sure to block out at least a couple of hours to see the entire museum and grounds. Another hour is worth eating at their gourmet restaurant, Palate.
