WHY AUTHENTIC MUSEUMS STILL MATTER

I’ve been inside authentic museums of all kinds, from the Gene Autry Museum of the American West, to the Petersen Automotive Museum, to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. They all come with a suspension of disbelief. Does everything have to be perfect? Noooooo. But they do have to be authentic.

FINISH LINE, OR NO FINISH

The finish line is out there. You just can’t see it. You can pretend you see it, but you can’t. You can tell someone you see it, except it’s not there. But you can tell yourself anything and make it make sense. Meanwhile, keep going.
