I was amazed and impressed visiting the Holocaust Museum in DC that people
stayed and read everything--don't the statistics usually say the average
total museum visit lasts about 2 hours and that people don't like to have
to read alot?--and the packed in crowd in the 3-floor exhibit stayed for 3
hours or more despite the crowd and despite the quantity of
labels--speaking of an unforgettable exhibit...I could not stop thinking
about the images and my impressions for at least 4 days after our visit.
