😐 It’s not a museum where you learn and wander to discover: it’s an extravagant accumulation of artifacts, from minerals to fossils to traditional African arts to an edifying exhibit about Gandhi. You are rushed through tunnels and rooms stuffed with all these things with little context and no time to...
