These works are all interesting in their own right, but the thread connecting them feels a little scatterbrained. A curation of man-made objects? Doesn't that describe 99.9% of art exhibits? That said, all beautiful work.

THIS IS REALLY COOL! Art definitely connects us - how wonderful to have us think about it in this way. Thank you, Brooklyn Museum!

I thought that it was very interesting to have an exhibit about other ways to group exhibits. I really enjoyed reading the history of all the random artifacts.

I really like how they combined everyday objects with ancient ones to allow viewers to make a connect between past and present.

i love the question that generated this exhibition. if only we asked that more often and not waste our time with questions of superiority.

This feels like a wonderful, old-world salon hang from the 19th/early 20th century, but with an added lashing of post-modern connectivity, meaning and true curatorial thoughtfulness and creativity. Super cool.

Get lost in Art and find yourself.

The artwork is great but as an LIS/Archives professional I am most pleased with the preservation aspects and interactive capabilities this exhibit (and your museum) has put to use. (like this comment station!)
