Please Don't Water The Exhibits
You know it's bad when so many people use the toilet exhibit at a museum as a real toilet that the museum gives in and turns it into a real toilet.
This story especially caught my attention today because of something that happened on Saturday. We were at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and in among the art was a bench. Staff had to tell people to please not sit on the art. Art? I guess it was a sap sculpture, but it looked like a big ol' log bench. They say they have to tell people that *every* day.
This begs the question. If this piece of art looks so much like a plain old bench, how artistic is it?
