  "account": "Dazed and confused upon entering the New Museum, I found myself overwhelmed by the vast array of art in the New Humans exhibition. The installation, filled with disparate works, left me disoriented and struggling to follow the narrative. After getting lost twice, I inadvertently exited through a fire escape, only to be greeted by a locked door and had to descend the stairs into the back area of the museum, where I encountered an employee folding napkins. The supervising staff member kindly guided me out to the front of the museum, as I grappled with the daunting task of navigating the museum's wayfinding capabilities. Despite my frustration, I am now looking forward to the museum's upcoming exhibition on the history of the Bowery.",
