We are at the Hunderwasser exhibition in Budapest. We paid for tickets on line, and figured that there was some sort of limiting mechanism to the number of people that could be allowed to be in the room at once. But, not so. Once inside it was obvious that the room was going to be crowded and dark. This has been the fourth exhibition I have been to in this very room in the last year. And I am seeing a horrible pattern.
It is dark. Presumably because the travelling exhibition cannot have more than a certain number of lumens on the pictures. I understand this, but I don't like it. Secondly, the room is crowded with so many people that it is difficult to see ANY of the paintings. Further, the layout or design of the 'traffic' -- the path that must be followed, or should be followed for the optimum viewing pleasure -- provides 4 hallways with dead ends. So, basically, you see the paintings down the path and then MUST TURN AROUND and walk through the on-coming traffic. Incredible.
But this is just the picture. The question is: Should one mention to the curator, or the management of the museum, that this is distracting in the least -- annoying for the most part. Do we tell them that this is NOT WORKING? Or do we just live with this type of mis-management?
Please give some advice to those who encounter this type of dilemema.
