I have to wade in on this.

My most memorable experience was when as a child my parents took me to
Chicago to "see the museums."  In the Museum of Science and Industry there
was, for a twelve year old who was high on the gross factor, a most
memorable exhibit. In one of the stairwells are slices both horizontally and
vertically of a real human preserved in some kind of liquid. To this day,
when ever I visit I go and find this stairwell to see it again. Last time I
visited it was still there. I remember thinking "I want to work at a place
where I can do stuff like this!!"

Well, I am, hopefully, a little more sophisticated now about exhibition
content these days but it is what made me think that museums and the people
working in them were cool.
