well, for those of us (a.k.a. casual museum goers) that couldn't make it to
the opening, there was no music to listen to other than what was playing
beneath the 2-minute interview clips. I imagine it wouldn't have been to
difficult to set up one or two listening stations playing a few different
tracks or just a simple Mojo mix.

No, club culture wasn't quite our gift to the world (hehe) but again, for
the lay person, a little context might be nice. And, as far as I saw, there
wasn't even a mention of Motor (I may have totally missed it, though). Not
to fault them too much but they never even described what a DJ actually
does. They seemed far more pre-occupied with finding album covers than they
did with trying to inform their audience.
