The crowds however, did not. And that is the most poorly organized museum space on earth. We had to stand on four different lines to get in. I saw these shows in April and they both rocked.

Thought the film about transporting JFK's body was flawed...They flew JFK back in Air Force One, with Jackie forcing them to modify the jet to accomodate the casket in the passenger cabin rather than in the luggage area. To my knowledge, his body was never transported via rail. Regardless, the imagery did capture the broad feeling of connection that many Americans felt. I enjoyed the Calder exhibit immensely, and found the video of his presentation of his circus charming and entertaining. His wire sculptures look as if he was drawing freehand in the air. The presentation with suspended exhibits and plainly visible shadows brought his pieces to life. The Calder and Kadinsky exhibits were fantastic.

Seems like it would be something of a pain for wheelchair visitors. I don’t know about that super high up wall text. Seems like it would be something of a pain for wheelchair visitors.
