Welcome to Phil's Museum Adventure, a WordPress blog documenting my journey visiting over 50 museums across the globe, from the grand halls of the Louvre to intimate galleries in Tokyo.

This project culminated in a public talk at the Orange County School of the Arts, where I discussed why privately hoarded collections limit cultural education and what we can do to democratize access to art.
