Contributions are user comments that the curators have elected to archive with the object, either because they are particularly interesting and amusing, or because the curator knows you personally and doesn't want to offend you.
Visitor comments do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the museum. They have, however, been selected for promotion because the curators feel that they represent a noteworthy insight or perspective that may be of interest or value to other visitors.
