“What a serious trial error who made the decision to close this exhibition”someone wrote. “Imagine whether Washington’s national archives, DC, decided to save the declaration of independence, not out of necessity, but to make room for a new exhibition. Do you see what ridiculous sound?”

“Some things are so important for our collective history that * they should never retire from public exhibition,” they continued. “People from all over the world travel to Seattle with the * only purpose * to see Nirvana’s exhibition; it should be really permanent.”

Several others shared that they have planned trips by the end of September and this year only to see the exhibition in person.

“Bad choice, and it shows in the comments”another person wrote. “I visit it whenever I go to Seattle. They should make it permanent.”
