Wilson's intervention on museums has been called controversial and ground breaking. In Mining the Museum, Wilson took artifacts from history that were hidden in the storage of museums (i.e. artifacts that have to do with slavery), and juxtaposed them with other artifacts that were from the wealthy and white. I think it's important to not hide the shameful parts of American history, and rather acknowledge them. Wilson sparked a much needed conversation among artists and historians alike, about the organization of the common exhibit.
