I've seen a lot of shows in the NC Museum of Art, big traveling shows and
major exhibitions of their own (destined for traveling), and in almost all of
them in the last few years, they've nailed little lath strips to the floor
about 3 feet from the wall, a line not to be crossed, and if you even lean
forward to look closely at the surface detail, a guard walks up and very
seriously asks you to lean back. Apparently the moisture and gases in one's
breath is destructive!
