At first glance the objects in this room look hodgepodge, and after looking closer and reading some of the info posted beneath each work the collection looks... hodgepodge! The thesis seems a little on the weak side, which is disappointing because as individual pieces the works are very strong. I don't understand why this is a "collection" in any significant way, and posting open ended questions challenging us to make the connections between the pieces ourselves was underwhelming and felt like a cop out. It was entertaining to walk the exhibit aimlessly as it felt like a taste of a whole museum's offerings in one place, but I wanted a clever tie-in to get me excited and to think about the exhibit as a whole, instead of as the motley piecemeal I found it to be.

I love ancient art so much--it's indescribably powerful to envision these artists thousands of years ago, standing in the same locations (relative to the viewer), shaping stone into religious and cultural icons.

I really enjoy the West African exhibit, especially the film. My young daughter likes it a lot too. It puts us in touch with our heritage, and reminds me of my visits to those countries.

Beautiful exhibition. The design is exquisite. I particulary liked the visible storage and the possibility to search in the database. excellent museum !!!

It was outstanding to see the talents throughout the ages. its wonderful that no matter where we come from, we can express ourselves through art. each peice has an amazing and interesting story to tell.

Loved this exhibit. This space is so important for women. After I left, I imaged all of the names I would put into a continuation of this project: Gloria Anzaldua, bell hooks, Patricia Hill Collins, Andrea Smith....the list goes on.
