  • Thank you! I opened the thread kind of wondering how interesting it could be - after all, you’re just placing the artwork where it has to be, no big philosophy, right, what is there to even ask? But reading through the existing replies and thinking about my own experiences in museums inspired me to come up with questions, and your answers have been really interesting.

    As for the reflection, I wondered if the problem could be that I’m physically too short so I view the artwork from a lower angle…




  • In galleries and museums I frequently find it difficult to properly see a painting with a glass cover because the glass reflects the room’s lighting. So wherever I stand, one part of the painting is covered by light. Is this normal?

    I’ve seen one guy online years ago claim that the important old artworks shown in museums and galleries are actually replicas, that it’s too dangerous to display the originals. I thought that sounds like bullshit. Is it?
