The bottom line is that nobody can really hope to go to the museums 
after work, unless they work the night shift or something ! 
Then they can go when it opens in the morning.
This seems positively weird. I was at the Ripley Center recently, and 
on the little stone plaque outside listing the hours of the Smithsonian,
it was mentioned that some of the museums might have Summer Hours. 
Does anyone have that information ?
