One of the most rewarding things about museums is discovering subjects we knew very little about before visiting. Sometimes an exhibition can completely change how we think about a historical event, artist, culture, scientific discovery, or period of history.
A topic that once seemed uninteresting can suddenly become fascinating when it is presented through compelling objects, stories, and interpretation.
Have you ever entered an exhibition with low expectations and left with a completely different perspective?
What changed your mind, and what made the exhibition so effective?
