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. On Mon, 26 Feb 1996, William H.
