Good question, i.e. thank you for asking this question. I've enjoyed this dialogue about the most memorable artifacts but was hoping to see this expanded to exhibitions in general. It's always good to learn about particular exhibit topics (or presentations) that have really drawn people.... for reasons other than their controversy. It's interesting too that most of the "memorable" artifacts seem to reside in natural history museums....... I'd love suggestions on how we history museums can compete in this arena.
