I’ll be the first to admit that museums aren't for everyone. It takes a certain kind of curiosity and understanding of the subject (be it art, dinosaurs, sculptures, etc.) to truly appreciate the various exhibitions on display. But when it comes to matters of the heart, museums provide a backdrop like no other. After all, where else does history and reverence collide the way they do inside these rich hollow spaces? So, if you would rather have paintings and the stars do the asking for you, take a look at four adorable marriage proposal ideas at museums.
Sounds Like Love
Book a tour at an arts museum where they allow you to display your own personal work of art and have it incorporated into the private tour. But this won't be just any ol' work of art that you created in a painting class. It will be a portrait of your own sound waves as they "appear" when you say the words, "Will you marry me [insert name]?" Let's just call this modern interpretive art. As the tour nears its final destination, approach your personal painting and have your partner read the portrait's accompanying caption as you wait with bated breath.
Written in the Stars
Whether you are destined to be soul mates or not, your proposal can at least be written in the stars -- literally. Luckily, the US boasts some of the best planetariums in the world where you can profess your love. As you're gazing at the stars above, surprise your partner with a question that shines as brightly as the ring you're about to put on her hand.
Love on Exhibition
In this age of Instagram, where everyone is a self-prescribed "photographer," post your girlfriend's photos where they can truly be oohed and aahed. Museums of photography offer the perfect opportunity to present your personal photos on exhibition. Surprise her with a tour of her own collection, and end it with a photo of you holding a ring.
She's a Gem
Think your ring deserves to be in the spotlight? Then look no further. The Field Museum allows you to place your engagement ring inside a dedicated case within the gallery, along with a personal message, special lighting within the case, and a champagne toast. And that's just for starters. If the love of your life is a diamond in the rough, then give her a ring that sparkles like the gem she truly is.
