Handpicked kids give museum mixed review

... or so it seems to me from this article on a preview visit to the Lincoln Museum by select children. To whit:
There was lots of chatter as the students walked through the Whispering Gallery, where angry voices hurl insults at Lincoln... A museum volunteer had to hush the students so they could hear the servants' conversation [in the kitchen].
Waiting to enter "Lincoln's Eyes," the short, special-effects driven documentary of Lincoln's life, there was a conversation about someone with "cooties." Two hours after arriving, Lincoln Magnet students were bused back to school. [...] The students agreed they could have stayed at the museum for at least another hour.
At least another hour!

Is this going to be the mighty engine of Springfield's economy?
