It is riveting and definitely provides an extremely profound experience. It's the most memorable museum I've ever been to--and I've been to a lot. If nothing else, it is a beautifully designed public space. Like I said, it may not be someone's cup of tea on a vacation, but I'm so glad I've been there (multiple times, actually). Admittedly, the first time I went there, I spent an hour crying at the Mall afterwards, but it was a life-altering experience.
