The museum docents call them archaeologists. I've been there. Although
it's not open to the public, visitors could take behind the scenes tours
last year. So I did.
The site is very interesting. It is located in a beautiful rural setting
surrounded by gardens and water features. The museum is clearly adopting
traditional museum interpretive techniques and has engaged in solid
planning...indentifying misison and vision statements and implementing a
strategic plan. They are studying audience and have a clear story line and
message.
Although I accept evolution and am trained as an anthropologist and
therefore can't buy into their message, I appreciate the techniques they
are using to share it. I do find it quite disconcerting to see "our" well
studied museum techniques...um...co-opted to tell a clearly non-scientific
message.
Whether you understand the scientific definition of the word theory, or
not, this is a museum worth visiting and observing.
