I absolutely love the fact that Winona, MN has a bona fide art museum which exhibits works of the calibre that they have been able to present, but I found this particular exhibit quite boring.
I totally understand that not everything is going to have the draw and panache that an exhibit related to the Titanic will have, but this really had nothing of interest for the average layman. I can understand the significance of the change to the steel and steam ships, but the hardware meant nothing to me, and the paintings themselves held very little interest.
To bring people back to the museum to see the same exhibit more than once is going to require a much more interesting assortment.
Recommendation is to pass on this exhibit and wait for the next.
