Art is conceived and developed by the creative-  it seems that it is
warehoused by other types.  There is no other museum as hide-bound and
static as an art museum.  This is not a criticism, merely an
observation.  What percentage of the population visits art museums?  Is
it that art is only created for this minority.  How can we make art more
accessible so that a greater percentage can (learn) to enjoy it?  Perhaps
the art museum environment needs some tweaking.
