Date: Feb. 2nd, 2009 10:17 pm (UTC)Absolutely, for me. Both Yad Vashem and the DC museum were so informative for me -- a good place to get the same info I can get in a million other places, but no emotional impact. In DC, in particular, I felt like I was getting so much info thrown at my face that was so obvious -- like, do people not already know this? -- but obviously, not everyone does.
I do like the art in Yad Vashem, the thought that's gone into the architecture of the building itself and the gardens and the sculptures, and the fact that almost every time I've been there has also been followed by a conversation with a survivor. And still, books and movies and real life conversations, for me, are far better. I suppose it's a question of better for what, though; I guess a museum isn't intended to have the same impact on you as other... mediums.
