I see them fine but I've heard they're coming up "image not found". If anyone else is having that issue let me know. Is anyone having trouble seeing the two images with this post?

I found that it did neither; it lacked the placard to justify it's content as art, and it lacked the content to justify a visit from people who wouldn't otherwise visit the museum. I can't say that it was a bad exhibit, but considering the subject they were handling, they could have done a much better job.

I was actually interested in going to this, but sadly now my suspicions are correct in thinking it would not be all that cool. Given the subject it could have been wicked. Sadly all too often VAG disappoints me. Thanks for the great sum up Jeffery.

Unfortunately, the "art" was not exciting. Perhaps when they get a new venue, they will be able to get something worthwhile to work with. The curating was outstanding.
