Never stop learning

As the weather gets colder, we’re all looking for fun indoor activities to stave off the cabin fever. Luckily, you can combine an indoor adventure and your love of lifelong learning with a visit to one of Louisville’s many museums.
History
Portland Museum, 2308 Portland Ave. | Free
This museum chronicles the history of the Portland neighborhood from when it was an independent town in the 19th century to the cultural gem it is today.
Arts
Speed Art Museum, 2035 S. 3rd St. | $10-$15, free on Sundays + the first Thursday evening of every month
Find inspiration via art and architecture that spans 6,000 years of human creativity, culture, and experiences at Kentucky’s oldest and largest art museum.
Science
Kentucky Science Center, 727 W. Main St. | $22-$29
One of the Museum Row originals, this science museum has been in operation since 1977. The Science Center boasts three floors of interactive exhibits + a four-story IMAX theater.
Did you know there are ~25,000 castles in Germany? National Geographic rounded up their top 10, featuring hilltop views, medieval vibes, and stunning historical charm. Looking for a castle of your own? This Tucker Station estate is still on the market.
Cause
Earlier this month, we brought you a handful of ways to help your neighbors in need with donations of food. One LOUtoday reader reached out to let us know they’re collecting donations at their house to be distributed to local organizations. Feel free to bring your canned goods to 411 Blenheim Ct.
State
House Beautiful just named the most famous building in each US state, and The Kentucky Castle near Lexington took the title for Kentucky. Closer to home, Louisville has no shortage of stunning architecture and skyline staples. See for yourself by visiting Derby City’s most iconic landmarks.
Eat
Taco Bell is selling a Baja Blast-flavored pie this Thanksgiving. The drink’s signature tropical lime flavor has been turned into a filling on a graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream. To each their own, but we prefer picking up seasonal desserts from Louisville’s small businesses like Wiltshire Pantry. (People)
Sports
What’s the opposite of a short king? Meet Oliver Rioux, the 7-ft, 9-inch teenager who recently became the tallest-ever college basketball player when he made his debut for the University of Florida. In Rioux’s honor, we recommend grabbing a tall latte from one of Louisville’s superb coffee shops. (The Guardian)
