Discovering Nostalgia at the Dallas Museum of Memories

The Dallas Museum of Memories is a unique and fascinating destination that takes visitors on a journey back to the 1990s and early 2000s. With its monochromatic 'you can't sit with us' mural, it's no surprise that Mean Girls references abound throughout this quirky museum. Jaya and I couldn't resist whipping out our best Resting Bitch Face (RBF) for a super cute shot in front of the mural.

As we explored the various rooms, we stumbled upon a birthday room that was almost too adorable to handle. The four-tier cake, complete with a plethora of birthday candles, was a highlight, and I especially loved the Mean Girls reference on the pencil that read 'That's so fetch!' Although, I couldn't help but notice that the pencil itself looked more like something from Clueless.

One of my favorite rooms at the museum was the diary-inspired room. As someone who had several diaries throughout their youth, this room was particularly nostalgic for me. And when we left the museum, I couldn't resist pointing out the clouds in the sky and remarking 'we took pictures with those' to Jaya – she was only partially amused.

Of course, no visit to the Museum of Memories would be complete without a photo opportunity with a fluffy cloud or two. It's actually much harder than it looks to pose with clouds, as they're both soft and glowing, making it challenging to decide on the best way to photograph them. I had seen this exhibit floating around Instagram before and was excited to see it in person.

The museum also features an all-turquoise Connect Four and chess set, which we both loved. The turquoise living room, complete with a corded telephone, was another highlight. Jaya was particularly fond of the kitchen, exclaiming 'I just love kitchens!' as we spent some time exploring this cozy space.

We also had a blast in the monochromatic dollhouse rooms, and I'm excited to share my favorite photos with you all. Overall, the Museum of Memories is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves nostalgia, Instagram-worthy moments, and a healthy dose of 90s and early 2000s culture. With its quirky exhibits and playlist to match, this museum is sure to delight visitors of all ages.
