All day long we hear children reacting to it. It’s been a great addition.”Lou to DWB: “Every piece that you have given us is on display—we love them! People still come in and ask where the Bermant collection exhibition is. It obviously made a tremendous impact when it was here five years ago.”“David continues to be our inspiration and I tell you, every time we install a new show in the Bermant Gallery I think about David and what he might’ve thought about this particular exhibition. He’s very much alive at the Butler Institute and the Bermant Gallery continues to be the most exciting spot in the museum.”86Butler InstItute
