7/10
Mostly unrelated "exhibits"/"artifacts"
16 July 2023
The greater bulk of items shown have nothing directly linking them to the stories/history told they're just "similar". The show is "Mysteries at the museum" not "homage to ___ at the museum". Honestly I'd be plenty interested in the actual history of the items shown rather then unrelated stories that don't pertain to the provided "history" they link them too. There's also a good amount of misinformation or just outright silly "ghosts" etc/nonsense. They also re-use the same footage excessively and seemingly repeat stories only with slight alterations on occasion. Rather then spoiling anything with direct examples simply watching an episode or two you'll see for yourself what I mean. The music audio is too loud compared to the speaking volume. Dont get me wrong tho while my review is a bit critical I still enjoy the show, the stories/history is nice when it's correctly expressed but just feels off having totally unrelated items as their "reference". Usually only told to us at the end of the story that "___ is a similar reminder of ___" if they started out with expressing the items shown aren't the actual items they reference it wouldn't be as frustrating. Again I genuinely enjoy the show enough not to let it bother me too much, and enough to give this a solid 7/10 recommending it if you enjoy history on a more casual level. If you go in understanding the items shown aren't likely related to the stories shared it's not as bad. I'd suggest to just take it at face value rather then expect total accuracy, or to see the actually referenced items as some of the stories can seem a bit biased or occasionally misleading.
