Set a simple goal
Pick a theme (one artist, medium, period) or one wing to avoid trying to see everything.
Look longer at fewer works
Spend 2?5 minutes with selected pieces; notice composition, color, and what draws your eye.
Use labels wisely
Read the label after you look; treat it as context to test your observations.
Close with a recap
Before leaving, note 3 works you remember and why; take a photo of the label if allowed.
