Bait and Switch

You can check: right on the Kennedy Center website it says "interactive exhibit on the life and presidency of John F. Kennedy". Doesn't that count as a museum?

These interactive exhibits are videos with audio that you can theoretically listen to but that I couldn't get to work. Am I technologically challenged? Maybe - or maybe they were broken. WHO CARES. At the Kennedy Center the building itself is the show, even if the impressive scale is not to your taste.

In the huge Hall of Nations - flags of all the countries recognized by the US - and Hall of States the flags float like clouds high above the concert- and theatre-goers who will miss them if they don't look up. There was, however, the famous bust of Kennedy which is special to see in person.

And I had something else to enjoy (the real reason I had selected the Kennedy Center for MAD): One of the free concerts presented on the Millennium Stage 365 Days a Year. The Paschall Brothers are an a capella gospel group from the Virginia Tidewater and they filled the space with their sound and spirit.

Who says I can't expand the definition of "Museum"?
