Museum & Gallery Visiting
Look properly at three things; walking the whole museum teaches less
Many museums have free days or pay-what-you-wish entry, and weekday mornings are emptiest. Take the floor plan at the door, choose your few objects and walk straight to them before the first gallery uses up your attention. Afterwards, sit for five minutes and recall what you saw; that is what turns a visit into something you keep.
First stepFind a museum's free day, go on a weekday morning, head straight for three works with the floor plan, and sit for five minutes afterwards to recall them.
