learned more from artifacts in one day at the National Museum of American History than I was taught during entire semester of American (revisionist) History class in college
Valuable Lessons at the National Museum of American History
I am always amazed how much I can learn from a museum trip if I really pay attention. The throngs of young Americans within are too hurried, carefully herded, and happy-to-be-out-of-school noisy to really learn from the exhibits. There is certainly no time to compare the items on display and the museum’s stories behind them to the “facts” taught in school in American History classes.
