I really enjoy exhibits that juxtapose artifacts and paintings. It is a much more dynamic picture of art.

I have a hard time connecting all of the pieces in this room together.

started to write, got cut off. so, shorter: feel that disparity and deep history is overlooked here in favor of surface similarity that actually colonizes widely disparate cultures.

I am Madeleine Farr's mother and our family very much enjoyed the 'smorgasbord' (husband's choice) mix up of genres and eras. I visit museums all the time for work and felt this was a great as it made it easy for my disparate family members to engage when we don't always wish to see the same exhibition or collection. Great idea, and thank you.

Interesting idea, but overdone and overstuffed. Instead of illumination there is clutter.

it is very lovely, I like the mix of styles through the ages. Perchance move it into a bigger room, though?

Very interesting, great how it all flows together. One of the more visually stimulating exhibits I've seen. A great time.

the shelving unit for the buddhist sculpture pieces makes it difficult to see the the fine craftmenship and detail that go into these incredible pieces

It is actually viewing the world as one. It compells an image of transition and equitity in such a small exhibit.

Great idea but I would like it more if it was in a larger space
