National Museum of Dentistry Tours
University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD

To honor the Tooth Fairy on this National Tooth Fairy Day, we present the National Museum of Dentistry Tours in Baltimore, Maryland.

The National Museum of Dentistry inspires people to make healthy choices about oral health by creating and sharing learning opportunities that celebrate the heritage and future of dentistry, the achievements of dental professionals and the importance of oral health in a healthy life.

Based on the Museum's website, Saint Apollonia is the patron saint of dentistry. But, we can't help but wonder if perhaps she was the first Tooth Fairy?

Virtual Tour of Yad Vashem's Holocaust Museum

Yad Vashem's world famous Holocaust History Museum is a prism-like triangular structure that penetrates the mountain from one side to the other, with both ends dramatically cantilevering into the open air. An experiential dimension was integrated into the museum's design, giving visitors an overall impression of the time, place and atmosphere. Inside the museum, a series of diagonal channels cut in the floor of the walkway (prism) guides the visitor into each of the eight-meter high underground galleries depicting different chapters of the Shoah. The gently sloping floor and narrowing prism enhances the changing narrative, creating the illusion of descending deep into the mountain. Different aspects of the Holocaust are reflected through the use of original artifacts, documentation, testimonies, film, literature, diaries, letters, and works of art.
