I spent 4 days in a row at the Met last week and I still want to agree with you. Museums are mostly a delicacy. The Louvre was built for artists to study other artist's work. That's tremendously not how we use museums. Medium is valuable for study, yes, but I didn't learn anything last week. I just saw evidence of it in bare vision.

But I am torn, because the more privately funded museums seem to be more prone to skewing history. I could be wrong.
