Went to the new exhibit at the Boston Museum and the pottery display felt totally wrong.

The info card said the pieces were from 300 BCE but they were grouped with stuff from 800 years later, which just seems confusing for anyone trying to learn.

Yeah, grouping stuff from 300 BCE with things from 500 CE is a wild choice. I mean, that's like putting a flip phone next to the latest iPhone and calling it a "communication tech" display. It just makes the whole timeline useless for someone actually trying to figure out what happened when. Maybe the curator was having a real off day.

Right? @the_jordan, maybe they ran out of room and just started putting things wherever.
