Web site lists 'Great Airport Museums'

MANHATTAN BEACH, N.Y., Nov 20, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A California-based tourism Web site's list of "Five Great Airport Museums" includes destinations in San Francisco and the Netherlands.

VirtualTourist.com said the San Francisco Airport Museum topped the list with exhibits including Mediterranean pottery and an analysis of the evolution of eyeglasses in the 20th century.

The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Schiphol in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which was second on the list, has hosted works by renowned artists including Mondrian and Van Gogh. The museum also features a large museum gift shop.

The No. 3 spot on the list, Arizona's Phoenix Sky Airport, has a permanent collection, including mixed media, ceramic sculpture and fine-art prints as well as pieces on loan from other museums.

McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, chosen as fourth by the Web site, features aviation-themed exhibits including airline ashtrays from the mid-20th century.

Finishing off the list was the Albany International Airport Gallery in Albany, N.Y., which features innovative artwork including exhibits on everyday objects as art.
