I have often had the pleasure of attending museums; this time I am writing about the
exhibits at the Norton in West Palm Beach, Florida.
I have a request. Posted next to the item/picture/art is an explanation of the work. The explanation is posted on a piece of paper 8 1/2 x 11; however, often the explanation uses only 1/4 - 1/2 - 3/4 of the page. IS IT POSSIBLE TO PRINT THE EXPLANATION IN A LARGER FONT SO IT IS EASIER TO READ? While reading the explanation, I must stand very close and right in front of the explanation. This makes it difficult for anyone else, but ME, to read at the same time. If the writing were LARGER, I could stand back, a little, but this would enable others to read with me. Also, it would make it easier for me to read....I often find myself 'working' to read the information.........it should be easy - a pleasure, not a chore.
Since this e-mail is going to a 'museum center' perhaps all museums could review their policy...then people everywhere would have the ability to see easily, read easily, and have a more enjoyable museum experience.
Thanks for reading this!
