World Class & Impressive

This is one of the greatest museums I've ever seen. However, I personally feel that the choice to limit much of the information showing about the objects on exhibit is unwise. The museum seems in places to be daring you to understand its content. I get the feeling they only want highly educated, wealthy, well-traveled historians to "get it". Otherwise, it's a stunning architectural structure and of course, one of the best collections in the world.
