Visit a Museum With Proper Gusto
- never touch art you don't own, even if you could should you want to.
- delight in hushed conversation, but also relish silence
- children should appreciate artwork as their parents do, never interfering with other patrons' experiences.
- limit group size to three persons, leaving room for everyone.
- enjoy yourself, a little. its not an amusement park.
- when you don't know, ask the staff. making up stories will only get you into trouble.
- its not a church, but do wear clothes.
- yes, the guards are watching you.
- maybe some of the work your child could do. maybe they are genius children.
- approach artworks like you are meeting a new person: from various angles, openly, with polite respect until you gather enough history/gossip to ascertain its social relevance and whether you feel comfortable liking it. and remember: you wouldn't poke someone you just met, would you?
- if it is in a Museum, it is considered art by people more important than yourself.
