Went to the van gogh museum and the ropes were about ONE FOOT from the art (like so close you could lean over and touch the paintings with your nose) with signs "please do not cross the ropes"...guess what someone did while we were there 🙄

And then people wonder why everything is getting put behind glass.

Obviously doesn't apply to her or she's illiterate.

My mother at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. It’s an archaeological museum. Do not touch signs are everywhere. She read them just fine and said “how can you not touch?” Before doing it. My mom had main character syndrome before video games got out of the Atari 2600 era

People are twats. 

This is at Cheeckwood in Nashville.

When I visited it had a few cigarette butts in it, trash and kids playing in it. People will always ruin things

Plot twist:

The art is the sign and the extrospection of the understanding that humans will do the opposite of any sign they see.

I was in Dublin and walking around at a University there. They had a huge metallic globe piece of art, and an Italian father and son ran up to opposite sides of the globe and started rocking it back and forth so violently, while shouting to each other and laughing, it looked like it was about to break off of its pillar.

I shouted "Hey, what the fuck are you doing? What the fuck is wrong with you?!" They sprinted off giggling like idiots.

I hate people. Not all the time, but often.

How is there no one overseeing this exhibit? I’ve had so many security guards tell me to back up when three feet from work by relatively unknown artists

Signs don't apply to the main character.

I work at an art gallery and people break our rules basically every 2 minutes despite us having a million big signs stating what is and isn’t appropriate behavior. It’s insanely annoying.

At the last biennale in Venice the Australian pavilion had a piece of artwork that in the middle of the floor there was a pool full of water and ink. Before you walked into the pavilion, they had someone at the door explaining to every single person that there was a pool in the middle of the floor that didn’t have a fence. It was full of water and ink so please don’t walk into it. Before you walked in the door you had to acknowledge in either English or Italian to the person at the door. Yes you understood what she said and you won’t walk in the pool. When I went the person in front of me acknowledge that yes she heard and she won’t walk in the pool. She walked into the pavilion and I’m not even kidding. 10 seconds later she was in the pool and acted all shocked.

No shoes either…

I have one of these I took myself from the Tillamook Cheese Factory:

i would’ve taken that picture with flash. make sure she knows she’s being ridiculed for being a turd.


She would be embarrassed if she knew how to read

Wondering if the actual point to this piece is how obviously the instructions get disregarded by rude people.

It would be fun if this art installation has multiple signs depending on which angle you're seeing it, and the sign the lady saw was telling her to take her shoes off and enjoy the sand or whatever to demonstrate the importance of perspective and not judge people without knowing their perspectives or some meta shit

This is why it is impossible to have nice things. I think a vast majority of the general public should be kept away from valuable things; art, automobiles, and pretty much anything else the rest of us enjoy.
