Huh.
This is why I am a firm supporter of the red velvet rope.
You know, when I was in high school a security guard at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts got pissy with me for supposedly standing too close to a painting. I'm not sure what the proper distance is supposed to be, but I was looking at the brush work on a 300 year-old oil painting, so I can understand them being a bit touchy.
Note I said "a bit touchy", not "GET AWAY FROM THE PAINTING!" touchy.
That said, I had my hands folded behind my back and was only leaning in slightly. i doubt I was even breathing on the picture.
To this day I prefer science museums. Nobody ever gets mad at you for looking too closely at a geode.
