After seeing Teamlabs in Tokyo, I learned that Arte Museum was a competitor from Korea, and while it wasn't quite as impressive as Teamlabs in Tokyo, it was still very impressive and fun visual museum:
Teamlab Borderless in Tokyo (Mori Building), is simply amazing. Frist, you need to know that it books out weeks in advance, so this is something you have to book before you go to Japan, or waste a lot of time to hope and get a last minute cancellation, but your odds are going to be low. I had to do it the hard way, I do not recommend that :)
It took a while to find the building museum at the basement of a building, but found it eventually:
One inside, it was very nice:
The very impressive hanging LED room:
And the Tea Room was simply amazing. That was beautiful and magical at the same time:

Long story short, absolutely recommended, book early.

The Panatheanic Stadium was rebuilt for the 2004 greece olympics, and it does look quite good. Much better than the original site at Olympia which wasn't very stadium-like by our current standards :)

Day #2 in Athens was to go through museums, and of course Acropolis Museum was a major one to see. It was very well built and layed out, and looked well done. It was nowhere close in size, but it was Louvre quality.
storing black powder and ammunition there during the war
turned out to be a big mistake and responsible for most of the damage seen today
The 2nd of the 2 major museums in Athens is indeed the Archeological Museum. It's a bit outside the main town area and unfortunately due to orthodox easter that week, it was only half open, which was pretty disappointing (it was not a national holiday, just not enough staff showed up for work to staff all the rooms, sigh...)
We was available of the collection, though, was first rate:
I finished my San Antonio Tour with the Witte Museum, a mix of natural history museum, and local history museum. While it was a bit of a mix, it was an interesting visit:
I did actually see a roadrunner while driving around, cool birds :)
There was a space exhibit due to the Johnston Space Center
Hopscotch in San Antonio was a fun place to visit, although you could only pay on your phone through some website, even if you were right there, plus they had a ridiculous waiver that was more pages than anyone could read, and that you were forced to read on your phone, and sign on your phone, before you were allowed in. That really dampened the place for me, which is a bummer as it was otherwise fun:
