The best general art museums I've ever gone to were 80% crap, 15% meh and 5% good. The average general art museum is 90% crap, 9% meh and 1% ok.

But that's the nature of the beast. You can't have a diverse collection where half the pieces are good to any individual. 1 person's opinion of great art is 99 other people's crap.

There really are very few pieces in the world where 90%+ of people agree they are great pieces of art.

When I go through a museum I just powerwalk through pointing at each piece and saying "CRAP" "MEH" or "GOOD".

Many exhibits do nothing for me, but often enough I'm emotionally spent after one exhibit and have to come back another day to view more of the gallery.
