An activity free of stress, fear and judgment, stopping to smell the roses, is not unlike standing before a painting. To that I say, when looking at a painting, no one expects you to have special knowledge either. Museums and galleries are of course nothing like that. While it is common courtesy not to shout in public places, in a museum, you are not required to wear all black, you need not spew art speak and there is no pop quiz at the end of your journey. In fact, you don't even have to like what you see.
