Or who fail to realize there's an art museum at the top of the steps

This is legit the funniest thing to me. So many times, I've seen tourists do their Rocky thing and then just...walk on by. The country's fourth or fifth largest museum is riiiight there!

I live 5 minutes from the musueam and the novelty hasn't worn off. Everytime I go up the stairs and look at the view it's like my first time. The musueam building itself is a fascinating work of architecture that I can't get bored staring at.

That being said, I've never once set foot inside. I have zero interest in art and can't tell a master piece from a child's scribble. I'd assume a good amount of tourists are in the same boat as me. Also, every medium-to-big city in the country has an art museum. You have to be really obsessed with art to differentiate between what the PMA offers vs any other art museum.

I suppose I assume most people live their lives with curiosity and eagerness to experience that which is new, or that which they don't know.
