Do you like going to history museums? If not, what should museums do to make themselves more interesting to the public? I think that they should include more panoramas and floor to ceiling projections to make it feel like you are actually immersed in the time period. Without immersion, exhibits are just text on a wall that you could read anywhere.
Not gonna lie, used to love museums as a kid but they lost their appeal for whatever when I entered adulthood.
I know what you mean OP. If someone showed me a vase from 2000 years ago and told me it was owned by X emperor I'd be mildly impressed. But stick that vase in a sterile museum with a tiny information plaque next to it, and I instantly become bored senseless.
There's something about museums that introduces remoteness and sterility that takes me away from the artifacts

this. I also think most people have a poor reference of time so they just dont understand how old, or significant the pieces are
