HoustonChronicle.com - Museums use pop-culture magnets to draw audiences

“So much of what is in that movie is there because of the science of optics, of perspective, of green screening,” she said. The exhibit uses extensive audio visual programs to explain how the movie’s magic was created.

look i’m all for touring this kind of exhibit for the fans, but serious, museum of NATURAL HISTORY. not movies, not moving image, not even fine arts. NATURAL HISTORY. i think it’s crap they try to make it “fit” into the mission of the museum of natural history. call it what it is, a way to boost attendance/revenues. apparently there’s also some kind of baseball exhibit at the MFA here, and people are complaining about that, but i’ll withhold judgment because i don’t know anything about it yet.
