Apparently Colorado’s pursuit of statehood was more complicated than I realized: “Colorado first pursued statehood in 1859. Each attempt that followed failed for different reasons, shaped by changing economic realities, population shifts and political priorities.”

You know; the best way to know whether a large history museum is about to close for renovation is to ask me if I plan to visit in the near future. Latest casualty; the National Museum of Finland (I've wanted to make this trip for ~15yrs, but always been slightly too short of money), closed to friggin' 2027.

Do I dare book a trip to Estland instead, or will the Estonian History Museum suddenly feel the need to upgrade?
