I don't like the trend.
I remember a local historical museum that had an attic-like collection of
tens of thousands of artifacts. It wasn't explained or presented in a way
to conform to current interests or social proprieties. A visitor could
imagine and speculate. It was uncensored. An environment like this
encourages science.  It is now a sparse and GUIDED tour.
