I agree that Chicago museums are awesome! Thanks for reading the blog and it was great to hear from you!

Stephanie– I appreciate your comment and kind support. I think you’re right that sometimes stairs seem imposing/unfriendly and that the placement of the message in that location enhances one’s experience with the installation. I hadn’t explored that particular aspect (aside from the message being large a relatively unavoidable). Thanks again!

Thanks for linking me to this great post, which I will retweet. Yes, I loved the installation and thought it was a fantastic way to turn the steps (which often seem negative/imposing/unfriendly) into a simple message. I also loved the Olafur Eliasson installations, including the yellow room that turned everyone black and white. Thought-provoking and fun, just like the steps. Great blog, keep writing!

This is a empowering blog post for museums, coupled with a great installation! Why does Chicago have the coolest museums ever? I found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I love reading it. So insightful. Thanks.
