Mussorgsky: Pictures at the Exhibition



Michelle Obama says she did not feel welcomed as a kid to museums. I will give her that (she may have felt that way then), but is that true today?  Beyond race, in the past museums tended to exclude people who were not the right "class." But museums now a days seem to try to encourage visits, most offering free nights at least once a month or reduced rates for kids and school groups. So what is the First Lady trying to accomplish?

With ISIS gleefully destroying world heritage sites, museums reaching out to people and instilling a love of the arts are needed more than ever. Mrs. Obama should be encouraging that.
