Today I am complaining about two captions that bothered me. I very much enjoyed the exhibitions, but two problems are worth a short moan.
In one of the problem captions, one the beliefs of Christianity was presented in the past tense, implying no-one believes it any more.
In another, I was told by the caption what mood I felt on looking at the painting concerned. It was wrong. I think it is wrong to tell the viewer what they are meant to feel, and is undoubtedly wrong to tell them what they do feel, when looking at a work of art.
