I went to the exhibit in New Orleans and stood in line for many hours. As we approached the door, we were told sorry folks no more admitted.
A group of Exxon executives and families were to be given a special tour. There was a massive howl and knashing of teeth and general uprising. An EXXON PR type saw a nightmare in the making and resolved the issue by alllowing all in line to see the exhibit.
EXXON put up the bucks so they did have some clout.
I've never seen such wonderful things. The metalwork and sculpture is without peer.
I was not able to go, but my parents went to the Tut exhibit in New Orleans.
Hope it comes back this way so I can go this time.
