Here we have a huge building, a medium-sized collection of priceless artifacts, and I imagine unlimited funds. The result is vast dimly lit halls of very tasteful restraint in the presentation of the collection. I would guess, on average, an 8' x 8' case had around 4 medium sized pieces. The interpretation was little more than an intro panel at the entrance and small brief labels. Visitors moved at a snail's pace if they moved at all. Comfortable leather sofas were found every 20 feet or so.
