The more we see our leisure activities as tied to our self-identity, the more consciously we choose what to do with our free time.

We generate all our revenue at the ticket counter, and since we can't draw a straight line from adding to the collection to increasing ticket sales, we don't actively seek out new artifacts. Serving critics may mean pursuing exhibits that are inaccessible to non-art people, thus limiting your potential audience.
