A woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a churchgoer might hold a Bible.She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away，but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same.The cause of this was Bouquets to Art，one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display，from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures.It's extremely attractive and also memorable，to the point that it has become a problem.
In recent years，the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums，as well as something that
upsets some of their patrons（資助人）.So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise：carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition's six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this.It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it，have a hard time remembering what they see.But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums.Linda Butler，the de Young's head of marketing and visitor experience，acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be "a photo-taking playland".Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a ＄28 ticket to be more valid than another. "If we removed social media and photography，" she says， "we would risk becoming irrelevant."
