True, but your awe and wonder are no less valid than anyone else's, and hearing of both lay and professional opinions would be valuable.

Their permanent exhibit "Duty Called Me Here: The Common Soldier in the Civil War" is very well done, uses technology in a meaningful way, and is often described as a very moving experience by visitors. Hope this helps. Regards, Andrew H.

In order to determine a few exhibits that I could use as case studies, I need your help. I would greatly appreciate your time in answering the below question: Have you ever experienced an exhibit that can be described as "a highly impressive, highly anticipated exhibit that provides visitors with an experience that arouses feelings of awe and wonder"? If so, please send me the names of three.
