ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Here's an example of what I am struggling with --


Traditionally, each event or milestone becomes a "tick mark on the wall",
allowing the visitor to step back and see progress / big picture.

But if you have a lot of "tick marks" (over 100), and it is covering a lot
of wall...


A.) will the visitor become overwhelm, and just give up?

Or

B.) is it important to show the chronology?



In many ways, it is about visitor fatigue and content.  When is it just too
much?  


Thank you!
Scott
