Museum Responses "The audience engagement with the exhibit and the speakers was tangible—participants made personal connections to the photographs . . . the exhibition attracted a new constituency . . ." —Dubuque Museum of Art, Dubueque Iowa "The Glorious Burden exhibit was special because of the number of original artifacts that were included. The Ford Museum's audience has come to expect original materials through our other temporary shows [and] Glorious Burden did not disappoint in that regard." —Jim Kratsas, Deputy Director, Gerald R.
