I did this last summer!  It was SO COOL to see all those wonderful 
exhibits again after all this time (I think I saw it at the Museum of 
Science and Industry in Chicago circa '70).  It literally brought tears 
to my eyes to experience them again.  THANK YOU!

Visiting it again was an object lesson on how to effectively present 
complex ideas and information in clear, physical ways.  It's still one 
of the best science exhibits I've ever seen.

Now about extending that timeline... (;^})
