I really enjoyed the Botero exhibit, the use of color on the walls allowed for the colors in his work to pop really well. Putting the walls into a diamond shape allowed visitors to be pulled around the corner to look at the other works, the use of bright lighting allowed to see all the little details in the work that allowed to see Botero's sense of humor such the smiling worm in the pear.
I don't see any bottle necking happening because there is enough open space and the works are large enough that multiple people can look at the works at once. A few of his works were on the darker more morbid side so that may not appeal to some audience members along with the sexual nature of other works but over all I believe members over and under 25 would enjoy the exhibit.
I especially liked the use of the computer to create a story for two of his works which showed that everyone had their own interpretation of his works; the picnic and the woman falling from the balcony. Although going through the stories many of the stories had the same theme; infidelity and murder. This shows that while everyone can have their own interpretation a general consensus can be met about the subject.
