We are constructing an exhibit on the co-evolution of horses and  
grasslands and are having some disagreement about which direction our  
timelines and evolutionary "bushes" should move.

Should a single panel or case have time move from the left to the  
right - from millions of years ago to the present - regardless of the  
direction which visitors approach the panel or case?

OR

If visitors approach the panel or case from the right, should time  
start from the right and move to the left?

I think visitors will always look at the case as a whole and then  
start observing from the left to the right, just how they read.

What do you think?
