A Museum with the Top 10 Stunning Views of Utah

   The Photographic Museum of Utah opened in 2021 just north of the Great Salt Lake, part of a sprawling tourist district accommodating air travelers arriving at the Salt Lake International Airport.
   And, a wonderful beginning and ending point for travelers this museum was. Actually, it was part of a larger museum, the Museum of Utah, which  highlighted all the tourist sites in the state. (Now, that makes for a large museum.) The Photographic Museum took just the most visually stunning sites, offering videos and still shots displaying their beauties.
   In the expansive foyer, or main room, hung 10 pictures from throughout the state. Other pictures were displayed in other rooms, but these 10 were those currently being voted by tourist-goers as the best.
   The Museum of Utah was a beginning point for tourists, because they could come and review all the state offered before selecting which sites to see. The Photographic Museum, and the Top Ten Stunning Views display were especially valuable in this regard, as tourists often chose their visits based on what they saw in the Photographic Museum.
   They were invited to return at the end of their visit to Utah, to vote on the best tourist sites, and offer their comments, and their pictures for display consideration. Their laudatory and informative comments were posted next to the pictures.
   Oh, and you could paint the scenes. Yes, if you painted a wonderful picture of Bridal Veil Falls, it might go into the museum and be voted on for Top Ten Stunning Views.
   The Museum of Utah was divided in parts. In one part, the Photographic Museum of Utah had rooms featuring the photographs and pictures of scenic sites, and a theater where you could view the beautiful sites in video presentations. Another part of the museum featured all the state's tourist sites, but mostly those that didn't fit into the category of being scenic.  A third part of the museum featured the history of the state and the accomplishments of it and its people.
   If you want to create an interest for something, feature it. Make a place to feature it. Having such a museum would laud the best the state has to offer. Would be neat if such a museum someday did exist, whether it be in 2021 or whenever.
