While traveling up the Oregon coast, i visited "The Pioneer County Museum" in the town of Tillamook. A museum in a small town can be a much more private, unique and eerie experience then a major museum in a large city. They are often vacant and oddly curated with type written information cards and busted lighting. They definitely don't have the look of money. In the corner of a room packed with dioramas and taxidermy was a polar bear and two bison pushed together behind a screen as though someone just didn't want to deal with them.
