The Smithsonian and a small history museum have very different communities and thus should have very different expectations of what makes them unique. Tags: interview visitors business models.

I was required to read Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States in high school. While I think the Museum of Freedom in Chicago is too objective/vanilla, I wouldn't prefer a hall of exhibits (sponsored by the appropriate PACs and corporations) on the freedom to drill for oil, the freedom to redistrict, etc. Of course not.

This exhibition uses RFID tags to allow visitors to save their work throughout the space--something that many institutions have been experimenting with for almost ten years now. We swiped our RFID tags all over the Brain exhibition to save our actions, scores, and preferences. This makes for a very low-engagement post-visit experience.

MN150 is a newish permanent exhibition (opened in Oct 2007) at the Minnesota History Center that marks the sesquicentennial of Minnesota with 150 of “the most influential forces in the state’s history.” I was really surprised by the range and just how much people know about history. We also talked to historians on staff.
