Weschler finishes his
book on a note of acceptance. He refuses to check on whether Wilson’s exhibits
are true or not; he is simply ready to take in the wonder of them. Weschler
does not really trust any of Wilson’s exhibits to be true; his tone in
describing the bee and mice exhibits seems resigned to Wilson’s silliness. But
he is open to feeling wonder, something he was not capable of when his
investigation of the Museum began. As Wilson exits, and the reader exits the
book, he and the reader are left with a seed of doubt: the horn is real. Weschler
leaves the reader pondering whether Wilson a liar, or if his exhibits are true.
