That's kinda' what I meant by my observations above. Apparently children (or adults, I guess) now have a very short attention span, so everything now has to be hands-on and interactive to keep them interested.
Contrary to your thoughts about no information, I feel that the gallery exhibits have the effect of a mallet over the head, telling you "This is what this is! This is what this means! This is what they were trying to achieve!", with no real allowance for personal contemplation or interpretation.
