An Anonymous Person Who Works At A Science Museum Submitted: 

Every once in a while, a guest parks in our parking lot, where there are many science museum banners, because we are a science museum and those exact words are part of our name. That’s one of the first clues that you’re at the science museum: all the things that say ”Science Museum.” 

But some guests must miss those signs, because they will walk past the entrance sign (which also notes that this is, in fact, a science museum.) And then they walk into the lobby full of other science museum signage. After that, they’ll approaches us at the desk where we sit behind a display of science museum maps and membership brochures wearing science museum shirts. Often, they read the tv screen above us to see how much it costs to go to the science museum. And upon request, they will receive tickets and receipts bearing the science museum logo. 

And then they walk into the science museum. 

And they come right back out. 

And say, “I thought this was the Children’s Museum!”

It’s next door. Where the sign says Children’s Museum.
