I am totally into the place (or places like it) for about 20 minutes, and I think I am learning something but then a kind of collective A.D.D. hits me and I kind of stagger from one thing to the next like a zombie. I see nothing wrong with a playground, mind you, or cool lab experiments...there's just something about the overload. I feel that way about all the big museums. The Met there's a point where my eyes can't take in any more. And the NYHS the noise and the variety get to me. But then again, who would want to go allllll the way out there and see one exhibit. Would be kind of cool to imagine a museum with episodes, like TV. This week: amps, next week: the water cycle... I am so interested to see what you might do for your own Cabinet.
