Hit the link below, and look for those words, "What is Wrong With this Picture"..take a look, and see if you agree something is wrong. If someone can copy and post Bette's picture here, that is ok . What do you think?
To be specific, it is the 2nd picture down, in the middle of the page of scene in an art museum.. Take a look, yes, I had better add this: sarcasm

Phones are the books of today. They are multi-use devices. Can't tell what they are doing, but there is nothing wrong with people sitting in a museum doing something other than looking thoughtfully at art.

I don't know about this particular case, but many museums around the world now provide various commentary for visitors on phones and such. Rather than renting some audio tour device keyed to the various rooms and works, we now have the equivalent or better on the personal devices to use at the museum and later at home.
