I have the feeling I'm in the living room of someone rich who collects art. I'm impressed, but I don't see the connection with some of the pieces.

A stimulating experience. Visually overwhelming with each turn of the eye leading one into a new world. Kisch, but could be more comfortable. Bring the leather couches in?

Over-stimulating in a great way, like a Facebook News Feed.

Cool, but claustrophobic.

This is a wonderful exhibit; very well done and thoughtful. It really puts things in perspective and makes you look at objects differently! Thank you for providing a compelling exhibition for the public!

An excellent overview of some beautiful works in the collection. And a great opportunity to truly appreciate universal themes humans explore which transcend time, cultures and boundaries like countries and ethnicity.

great multicultural-multifaceted exhibition - another version of the United Culture...if only others could see it this way...

What a great idea! I love the concept of gathering otherwise disparate works into unusual thematic collections. It wakes our primitive brain.

It's truly mind-blowing. To connect all of these great, different cultures and place them into one room forces one to discover connections between these cultures and lifestyles-- connections that we would never come up with if these objects were in separate rooms.
