![]() Growing up, my mom took us kids to a lot of museums, which is probably the reason for my love of history. Great potential and story that just needs someone to help tell it to visitors. ![]() While there are some interesting displays, such as the life sized village and an original canoe that had been excavated, we walked away disappointed. We got a "deer in the headlights" look back and a mumbled "I think so." Wow. We actually asked the front desk staff member if the museum location was the site of the Mystic Massacre. No staff members or docents were available to answer questions or bring the exhibits to life for us. We saw only one staff member at the entrance and one in the area before the village exhibit. Most importantly, it seems that administration forgot to spend funding for staff, especially anyone that knows or cares about the museum. Very large building that gives the same sense of claustrophobia that you can get in an IKEA. ![]() While the initial exhibit is stunning in its' simplicity and feeling, the rest of the museum feels like a lot of money was spent on beautiful exhibits that forgot to tell a story. There is nothing that makes your heart sing or feel sad. I wanted to feel this museum in my heart, but it's without soul. ![]()
