I
have
visited
many
museums
before,
but
I
had
never
encountered
such
an
uncomfortable
situation
until
now.
While
exploring
place
,
I
noticed
one
of
the
male
white
guards
continuously
focusing
on
me,
which
I
found
to
be
unwarranted
and
unsettling.
This
behavior
persisted
even
as
I
moved
to
the
second
floor,
where
it
seemed
like
another
guard
began
following
me
discreetly.
When
approached
him
to
inquire
about
the
matter,
he
couldn't
provide
any
valid
reason
for
their
attention
towards
me.
The
uncomfortable
level
of
attention
I
was
receiving
made
it
difficult
for
me
to
continue
enjoying
my
visit,
and
as
a
result,
I
couldn't
finish
exploring
the
museum
as
I
had
initially
intended.
To
rule
out
any
potential
misunderstandings,
I
asked
if
their
concern
was
due
to
the
size
of
my
canvas
tote
bag,
which
I
thought
might
have
violated
the
museum's
bag
policy.
However,
the
guard
assured
me
that
this
was
not
the
case.
I’d
to
emphasize
that
I
have
always
been
considerate
of
others'
personal
space
and
the
objects
in
the
museum.
Is
it
because
I
am
a
woman
of
color?
I
hope
this
was
not
the
case,
as
every
visitor
should
be
treated
with
the
same
level
of
respect
and
courtesy,
regardless
of
their
background.
I
hope
next
time
this
experience
doesn’t
happen
to
others.
Visitors
should
feel
welcomed,
comfortable,
and
respected
during
their
visits.
On
the
other
note,
I
don’t
think
I’ll
ever
want
to
return
to
this
place
ever
again.
