If they go the path many museums have taken, reducing the number of artifacts and explanatory information and replace them with hands-on, multimedia VR type "rides", they'll be making a huge mistake. Museums are not supposed amusement parks or playgrounds. Being a little bit "bored" is part of learning and something young people today need to come to terms with.
s s - Completely agree with you on this point.
The Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago is well known for its interacting exhibits. I visited again and again as a kid because of that very fact. Hands-on exhibits engage people of all ages and actually holds one's attention more than one that you just stroll past.
As a former space shuttle team veteran, this is a must see visit for me and my fellow SST Vets.
It's the only museum of its size and various exhibits make it the one and only of its kind...and they are going to make it better just blows me away. The Air and Space museum is my traditional first stop at the Smithsonian.
Cansoir, if you haven't been, go to the Udvar Hazy as well. It's also tops on any list and I have been several times and would go again. Cheers.
You just can't beat Udvar-Hazy Center - I was there on a weekday morning in September a couple of years ago - there couldn't have been more than 2 dozen visitors in the entire place.
My ignorance shows. Please enlighten me about its location and exhibits. In Germany I highly recommend the Deusches Museum in MUC. It also has the U-1 prototype for future boats. Thanks for the tip.
