This response is truly off the mark and smacks of what is wrong with museums and risktaking today. And The Sennsations exhibit proves how easy it is to stunble into a tempest in a teapot.

"I wouldn't host an exhibit like this or touch it with a ten foot poll, in
other words.   Take a lesson from the Smithsonian and their timebomb situation with the Enola Gay exhibit. Controversy for the sake of it is not worth it. Find another exhibit and topic that will be educational and exciting to your audience.  You really do not want to invite trouble just for
the sake of publicity."
