What subway line do you take to get to the American Museum of Natural History?

You take the Uptown C train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) to 81st Street-Museum of Natural History (at Central Park West). You'll come out right in front of the museum. In fact, the walls of the 81st Street Station are covered with tile murals of dinosaurs and other animals, so it's really easy not to miss your stop, seeing as the train passes right by the murals.

Why are museums important?

Well, museums have importance for people who enjoy history, or who are very interested in one particular subject. There are Art museums, Railroad museums, dollhouse museums, and museums devoted to history, or the history of a certain area. There are many, many other types as well.

For people who love paintings by very popular artists, but are too poor to buy a painting, Art museums are probably the only chance they will have to see an original... Picasso, for example. There are also museums at the sites where historical people lived, so you can learn more about their lives. There are military museums where you can learn the history of weapons and warfare... or uniform styles. :)

Museums are a popular tourist activity. When you go to a new state or a new country, seeing some of the history pictured or described at a museum is interesting and even fun. I have been to visit a couple of large dams, and seeing the historical information about how the dams were built was fascinating to me.

That said, obviously all museums aren't going to appeal to all people. There are as many types of museums as there are interests, and so... if you like cars, you could go to a car museum. :) If you like sports, you could go to a sports museum (could be called a hall of fame). If you like books, you could go to the library... or, er... many museums display old books and documents. :)

How many people regularly visit art galleries or museums worldwide Maybe an easier version is to say what percentage of populations say art is important to them?

I don't know the percentages, but art is a part of everyone's culture, whether they're from India, England, America, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Russia, Germany....etc... Art is important to everyone, I am an American so the media plays a huge part in our art culture. From photos to orginal, fine art, to digital media, any culture should say that art is important. Painting, sculpting, drawing, digital art...it's all a part of human characteristics to enjoy and say that art is important. The amount of people that visit galleries is uncertain to me also, but I know that in places that have them, they are visited mostly for education, whether it's a field trip for a school or an individual studying art.

How did the british museum get the Rosetta stone?

The Rosetta Stone was discovered by the armies of Napoleon in the town of el-Rashid(Rosetta) in 1799. The stone was made part of the Treaty of Alexandria in 1801, and so came into the possession of the English. While the exact manner of this transfer is the subject of some debate, it is known that Colonel Tomkyns Hilgrove Turner brought the stone to England aboard a captured French frigate. The frigate, and the stone, arrived in Portsmouth in February 1802. Turners orders were to present the stone, and other antiquities, to King George III, who, represented by War Secretary Lord Hobard, ordered that the stone should be placed in the British Museum. Turner argued that the stone should first be presented to the Society of Antiquaries of London. Before the end of 1802, it had, however, been moved to the BM, where it remains to this day.

How do you get the portraits for the museum in Pokemon Sapphire or Ruby?

Getting portraits is linked to winning contests. In each of the contest halls, there is an artist who draws a sketch of the Pokemon that won the contest. When you win the Master level, he may draw a more detailed picture of your Pokemon. The artist doesn't always draw a more detailed picture of that Pokemon. So when you enter the master contest you must make sure that there is a heart above the artist's head.

If the artist does draw a more detailed picture, he will ask you if he should take it to the art museum. Tell him yes. If you go to the upper floor of the museum, you will see his painting of your winning Pokemon.

Notice that the more paintings you show in the museum, the more people come to see them. If you fill the art gallery completely, someone will give you a Glass Sculpture for your Secret Base. He will also give your Pokemon a ribbon for being "super-sketched"
