When you visit a museum, you probably enjoy
looking at an object first before you look at its
label. Chances are you are drawn to an object
because there is something you like about its
color, its shape, its texture, the material it is
made of, the expression on a face, something
odd or interesting about it, or the story it tells.
After you've looked at the object for a while,
you might begin to ask yourself certain
questions about it. Who made it? When was
it made? And, what was it used for? That's
when the label comes in handy.
