I always like it when math exhibits are sort of musty. Partly because I like musty academia, but partly because it's so nice to have a field of scholarship where the building-blocks go relatively unchanged over a thirty-year period. There's something exciting to having knowledge continually redefined, but there's something comforting about knowing that there are some instances in science where everything that was once common knowledge has NOT become some flavor of obsolete.
