This weekend, I visited the New York Hall of Science. Most museums aggregate their content, either by category (Impressionism, Dinosaurs, World War II) or by abstraction (3rd Floor, Green Wing) and the maps reference these aggregate names. When the aggregate names are abstract, it’s hard to know what to expect.
