I always think of museums as a male-dominated (as a workplace and in terms of who supports/visits museums), I wouldn't have known that this was out of the ordinary!

This reminds me of Charlotte Allen's "satirical" article in the Washington Post last year about how women are hysterical idiots that only have the capacity to support good-looking presidential candidates. Well, I guess these delightful editorials keep us on our toes, at least. Wow.

Only seems fair, if you ask me. Well, imagine me having to read that rubbish and then spend a lot more than a few minutes writing this article.

I can't believe you made me waste a couple of minutes of my life reading that rubbish and replying to you here! I would however be interested to know whether the work of Akira Kurosawa was in any way involved in visitors (however they define their gender) interest in attending the exhibit. Cheers, Dan OMG!

I think http://reachadvisors.typepad.com/ has written quite a lot on the subject. Don't know/can't remember if I agreed with it all. Trains in museum, who would have thunk it.

They Just Keep On Going!," was odd - since there are ENTIRE MUSEUMS devoted to these topics (Hello! New York Transit Museum! South Street Seaport! Skyscraper Museum! etc. etc.) I guess if it's not at the Met, then it doesn't count. Maybe the Met could lend them some of their art, since they have trouble attracting the ladies. Anyone have the facts about visiting habits of men and women? I also thought his other suggestions for exhibits, such as “Trains!
