This small museum sits in a quaint and cute building on top of a bluff over some surf breaks. The museum is small with no charge. It’s worth a quick look, for sure. I just wish they had more cool surf-related things to buy. And I think it would be cool if they were playing surf movies on a tv.

The museum is in downtown San Jose. Its name is the Museum of Innovative Technology, which is equivalent to science museums all over China. There are many exhibits that introduce various scientific principles and encourage visitors to operate by themselves. I saw many primary and secondary school students visiting under the guidance of teachers, and some volunteers gave lectures and counseling. You can stay here all day.

This is the Murphy Regional Historical Society Museum in Mountain View, California, and the Museum and Historical Society are in one building, so the museum is also the historical society's data preservation office. The museum is small, mainly some graphic introductions of the historical changes in the area, and there are not many physical displays. Obviously, tourists are not interested in this.
