Exhibits Lost
As a kid, one of my favorite exhibits was the Footsteps Through Time exhibit in the Museum of Man. I loved seeing the ancestors and divergent paths that lead to the human species today, and the paths that no longer walk this Earth that could have been. I have my issues with the current Museum of Man. They removed this exhibit, now memorialized in a few brief frames. Their Egypt exhibit feels unorganized, misleading, and like an afterthought. They seem to be losing their solid focus on anthropology, and giving way to sensationalism. A museum has to make money to keep its doors open. But I still believe removing this exhibit was a mistake. I hope the museum returns to its roots and brings back this exhibit. I miss the primate hall and recreations. They fueled my interest in Anthropology, and increased my understanding of the human species.
