It's delightful that experts have studied why visitors to museums may get tired after a certain amount of time or due to specific qualities of the exhibition.
This phenomenon is called "museum fatigue."
Do you experience this phenomenon?

@CabinetOfDelights I used to feel tired from standing or walking extremely slowly when my parents used to take me to museums and I was forced to follow along with them - or worse with a guide spending an eternity in each room.
As an adult in charge of these visits, I haven't had this problem and museums became fun because I look at what interests me and I skip the rest.
Additionally, I now stand at my desk all day, so I would fare better if I had to slow-visit a museum again.
@mjambon I feel that. It's hard when you're with someone, even as an adult, with either a higher or lower threshold for spending time in a museum. One person ends up waiting, bored, and other ends up feeling rushed.
