Let me throw in my $0.02 as being something of an outsider.  The reason I 
say I am an outsider on this is that we don't have any of these in Tucson, 
and I have visited Libby's Mineral and Mining Museum cache.

I really enjoyed the Mineral and Mining Museum cache.  The times that we 
have planned Phoenix trips for geocaching I have intentionally left the 
museum caches off of my list for the day.  Not because I didn't think I 
would enjoy them, but that they take a good amount of time.  The fact of 
the matter is that I would probably never take the time to visit those 
museums if there wasn't a virtual cache.

I can see the argument that they are not caches, but I can also see that 
argument for most of the other virtual (but not all) caches and almost 
every locationless cache.

Perhaps I will spend a weekend next summer in Phoenix doing nothing but 
museum caches, they might be a nice place to be on a hot day.
