 Image: phillipscollection.org/homepage The summer season is all about lying by the pool and drinking fruity cocktails, but after spending days burning under the sun's rays, why not take a break and step into the cool interior of a museum? No matter where you're living or traveling to this summer, take the time to satisfy your inner history buff and visit one of these unique, under the radar museums. While everyone else is fixing their unfortunate tan lines, you can become a little more cultured! Washington, D.C.: The Phillips Collection (http://www.phillipscollection.org/homepage.aspx) Avoid the touristy crowds at the Smithsonian and instead visit America's first modern art museum in trendy Dupont Circle. The Phillips Collection houses works by Rothko, Degas, and Kandinsky in a quiet, freeform gallery setting. Afterwards grab dinner at the chic Bistro Du Coins Portland, OR: Theatre de la Mode at the Maryhill Museum of Art (http://www.maryhillmuseum.org/exhibits.html#theatre) After WWII, the great couturiers of Europe created a traveling exhibit of fashion - in doll size. The dolls are dressed to the nines in garments handmade by fashion's greatest and the remaining pieces are on display at the Maryhill Museum. It's about a two-hour trip from Portland, so take the scenic route through Mt. Hood National Forest. New York City, NY: The Metropolitan Museum of Arts Roof Garden (http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId={F97033D2-802B-4A64-AC9C-EDE499383A05}) Everyone knows about the Met, but rarely do people venture the whole way up to the top. The grandiose exhibits on the roof - like the steel sculptures by Anthony Caro, currently on display - are framed perfectly against the backdrop of the New York skyline. Chicago, IL: Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio (http://gowright.org/research/home-studio.html) Frank Lloyd Wright was an amazingly architect, so it comes as no surprise that his own home is just as amazing as his masterpieces. Take a tour of his Prairie style house and studio space in suburban Oak Park, Illinois to gain a life-sized appreciation of his talent. New Orleans, LA: The Voodoo Museum (http://www.voodoomuseum.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=10) After you've enjoyed all the spicy jambalaya and gumbo New Orleans has to offer, take a visit to the Voodoo Museum to discover the real historical flavor of the city. The tiny space is jam packed with an eccentric mix of skulls, masks, and authentic pin-stuck Voodoo dolls!
