Posthumous cult of personality, anyone?

On the new Lincoln museum in Springfield, Ill.:

The museum literature points out that its goal "is not to fully explain all of the issues that confronted Lincoln but to inspire in the visitor a deep sense of personal connection and empathy with the man."

In other words, the museum's purpose isn't to educate visitors. Perish the thought. All pretense of "edutainment" is out the window.

Because it'd be awful if the museum, you know, made people learn and stuff.
