This week, Nikki and Damaris tackle a question from Carla in Minneapolis: Are museums actually fun…or just something we’re all pretending to enjoy?

From iconic art museums to bizarrely specific collections (looking at you, Museum of Jurassic Technology), they unpack what makes some museum visits magical—and others just a long walk in silence.

Damaris shares how her museum pro of a husband taught her to gamify the experience (would you buy this painting for your mom?), while Nikki reveals the one sculpture she almost dropped $32K on.

And as always, they kick things off by sharing what made their weeks a little more joyful—Damaris builds a new self-care routine (spoiler: it involves very soft washcloths), and Nikki opens up about the nerves and courage behind testing a new business idea.

Whether you’re a diehard museum-goer or a reluctant tagalong, this one’s packed with real talk, unexpected inspiration, and tips to make your next museum trip a little more fun.
