The Museum Label
A plain black stone sits in a museum under a label saying it came from Mars. Millions of people visit it. Years later, the label is found to be wrong. The stone came from a local quarry.
Did the stone lose its value?

- Was the museum showing the stone or its story?
- What if nobody ever found out?
- Can a false label make an ordinary object special?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
