He's been kicked out for wearing a backpack. I guess he entered through the employees entrance, and they didn't catch him... He was a docent of sorts, and still got kicked out. I'll see if I can get better details... Dave works for the Asian Art Museum, which used to be housed at the De Young. He’s been kicked out for wearing a backpack.

I recently went to the Corcoran in DC and have a backpack diaper bag (well it can be worn over my shoulder too) and they told me I couldn't wear it. So I wore it like a messanger bag instead, THAT was OK. It irritated me. I've been irritated by the rules in many museums. It's just not the easiest place to go w/ kids. Each time, I say I'm not going back for awhile. But at the same time I WANT to expose my kids to art! Once at the BMA in Baltimore, the wouldn't allow my daughter to push the stroller. I get irritated but then I realize they ARE responsible for VERY expensive art work (probably a high stress job) and pieces of history. I also wouldn't want to be the one responsible for damaging it! So, I see their point too. Even though it aggrevates me! And yes, you're right about the different museums having different policies. I remember going to a Smithsonian one (can't remember which it was) and them giving out backpack carriers because they did not allow strollers. hi–I saw your blog on foodlab and figured I’d check it out…hope you don’t mind. anyway, I feel your pain here.
