It was, at least for me. One of my biggest complaints with a lot of art museums with no contemporary pieces is that people just walk through, not actually looking at the art, just to say "I saw a (Vermeer|Rembrandt|Bosch) today! In this exhibit, people were really interacting with the art. They were trying to look behind the pieces to tell if there was art there; some people just thought the room was unfinished and they shouldn't be there; some tried to tell if the pieces were the actual backs or not. Others were more astute and read the description on the wall, and almost everyone that did was still intrigued by the art. Think of it as a 3D photograph of the actual artwork, not only very interesting to look at but also exceedingly well-done. And, while even professionals that worked with the Mona Lisa for years could not tell the real Mona Lisa back from its replica, there were certainly fine nuances in the work that made it more than just a pure photocopied version of the "original". At the very least, there was nobody doing the very common walk-through-the-room-spending-10-seconds-on-each-piece that fills traditional galleries, and it made me very happy to see.
