ACTIVITY
Record dateThe exhibit review was added to the interpretation schedule.
I like GREAT History!
Curators requested room for the events that do not fit the preferred tone.
People come to a Museum, should feel good about the Country, not leave needing a whole other Museum to explain why they feel terrible..... very bad Tourism-ing.
Facilities confirmed that moving a label is cheaper than changing the event.
JD can look at the Labels, I have a very good eye for the Big Picture.
