I may not be the art expert you believe yourself to be, but I know demeaning exploitation when I see it.

And, having had the profound opportunity to visit the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts, the British Museum, the Van Gogh Museum and the many somewhat lesser renowned museums of this country, I guess they are all missing out on the 'elderly prop art with bushes on their head' genre. I'm sure you'll let them know what they are missing...
