This is the truth! However, my wife gets angry with me when we go to 
museum. She frequently complains "do you have to read everything and watch 
everything? We'll be stuck here for _hours_!" so it is better for me to go 
by myself, because then I can take my time and not run through the museum 
missing at least half of the items. ;)
