If you get "full picture" it is still interesting. They've done some horrible things, some meh thing and some absolutely amazing and beautiful things. Proportions of those of course depends on time period.
It is then up to the individual to realize what they see, how and what they can have from looking at it. If one wants to find crap they'll find it everywhere and the opposite.
