This is a superb review. I like that you really went into the emotional aspect of your first visit...and then the change when you went behind the scenes. It's kind of what I went through when I went to work there...how musty/dusty it all felt in the public places and the passion behind the scenes. At some point you might want to do a closer look at what they were trying to do with the redo of Ocean Life and Planet Earth....how would you update a place like this? This is kind of rhetorical except that I expect it to show up in some form in your manifesto. I know you are a very deep thinker...and I like to read your mulling process. Here's the best part... Meeting a real person who is absolutely passionate about their work is far more powerful and effective in conveying information than almost any sort of exhibit, no matter how interactive it is.

Meeting a real person who is absolutely passionate about their work is
far more powerful and effective in conveying information than almost
any sort of exhibit, no matter how interactive it is.
