Hate the questions.
I'd say only ever ask a rhetorical question if you are sure it's a genuinely novel question raised directly by what they are seeing on the exhibition - and one that the majority of the audience won't have an established answer to.

Hi Gemmers
A nice opinion question.
I'm making some panels for a general audience, mainly families. I'm heading each chunk with a question such as 'What was the space race?' 'What was the cold war?' etc but have been told that this is 'for infants' and 'dumbing down'.
I thought it was a more engaging style than 'The cold war was' and 'The Space Race was'.
What do you think?
Kind regards,
