It echoed a lot of my feelings about this easy to like, but sort of hard-to-understand exhibition. I found the wall text a bit hard to read, with the light color of the type against the wall, the dim lighting, and the large number of people going through. I hope people understood the Seneca Village story.

So many great works of art in that small space that I wanted to spend more time with. It felt like a jewel box.
I agree the placement within the museum felt odd. Was it featured or marginalized?
