Why do you believe "public art galleries" receive lower attendence than other types of museums? What evidence do you cite for this assumption? Aren't you generalizing a tad? As my college philosophy professor used to say "Define your terms." Many factors determine a museum's attendence level, I would not attribute a low attendence simply to the museum's "type."
