Another counter-tourism tactic

Yet another tactic for countertourism at heritage sites:
  • Collect as many brochures of other musea and exhibitions as you can.
  • Put them away, do not read them now.
  • Take pictures of anything that strikes you as significant and interesting in this museum or exhibition.
  • At home smash the brochures and the pictures together vigorously.
  • See if the collision produces any meaningful fragments.
  • Create your own imaginary museum exhibition.
Variation:
  • Read the texts from the brochures out loud in front of the exhibits. Thereby baffling your companions and other visitors.
