History in Everyday Life

Have you ever looked around and seen everyday items and wondered how they got there or how they were created?  Who thought up the idea in the first place?  How do you get the answers to these questions? Of course there is the internet.  You can find out just about everything you ever wanted to know there.  You could ask a friend but most of the time they don't know either.  Why not visit a museum?  It is a great place to explore and ask all the questions you want.  Usually it can be the starting point and can lead to opening up your world. Vist your local museum and start the journey.
