A San Francisco Museum Tackles Art's Instagram Dilemma

A woman held tightly her phone to her heart, the way a missionary might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of a stunning bouquet of flowers that sat not 10 ft away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others who were doing the same.

【小题1】. For the 34th year, florists were asked to create bouquets that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. A tower of baby's breath imitates a waterfall in a nearby painting by Gustav Grunewald. Red flamingo flowers and neon blue sticks echo a surreal portrait of a woman by Salvador Dali.

It’s amazing and also extremely Instagrammable, to the point that it has become a problem. 【小题2】. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their sponsors.

So the de Young responded with a kind of agreement: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.

One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is truth to this. It found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.

【小题3】. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing, communications and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a selfie playland”. Yet a lot of other people do, and her take is that the de Young is in no position to claim that one motivation for buying a $28 ticket is more valid than another.

If we removed social media and photography, she says, “we should risk becoming irrelevant”. 【小题4】. On this visit to the museum, most people seemed to treat the photo craze as the new normal. Many politely waited their turn and got out of other people’s shots,even as visitors bumped into each other in crowded galleries.

A.If this is a battle, signs indicate that the pro-phone crowd has already won.
B.But rather than expressing frustration about this awkwardness, she said she felt guilty, as if she were the one challenging convention.
C.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.
D.The cause of this recent craze was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
E.The truth is people like selfies more than the exhibits way beyond researchers' imagination.
F.But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums.
