There may or may not be a method to this madness.

take up space, read the plaques, get the audioguides. you are just as entitled and right in being there. visit museums, boycott museums, be expressive about your opinions about museums.

a lot of museums are free, or discounted for youth and students. take advantage of that. check your local art museum. check your local history museum. museums are there for you, they are there to educate the public, not to distinguish between class. it isn't a private collection, it's a public exhibit.

We genuinely LOVE first time museum goers and will pretty much bend over backwards to make sure you feel welcome, and like you're part of art and history. If you let someone know it's your first time at a museum, chances are their eyes will light up, and you'll get "These are my favorites" or "Oh, here's a little secret" and most likely a "thank you for choosing US!"

Please explain the three-strip technicolor process!

The three strip technicolor process (and here I am massively oversimplifying because I could write about this for hours and also don’t @ me because I do know what I’m talking about) required a custom camera, which was GIANT and FUCK-ALL HEAVY. The camera processed three strips of standard black and white (monochrome) film when exposing, with a beam-splitter sending the light through a prism and filters to each strip simultaneously.

This, obviously, required a shit-ton of light on the sets in order to get the right exposure for each strip. One strip would go through a green filter, so that only the green part of the spectrum was exposed on the film. The other two reels were sandwiched together and filtered only for red and blue (but not just with filters; there was a chemical process used to treat the raw film for each color in order to make it sensitive to certain parts of the spectrum).

In the printing process, the reels had to be specially processed by imbibition (a suuuuper complicated chemical dye-transfer process) in order to put the three color channels together and make one master color print for duplication.
