Factual error in museum.
Hello Museum Pros. I went to a museum today, and I found something in a description of a painting which is clearly wrong by quite a lot. How do you think I should go about this? I sent an email to the directory of the museum explaining that I found an error and want to explain it to the relevant person, and asked for such a person's email address. I don't want to seem like a know-it-all smartypants, but this error is enormous. It's roughly equivalent to saying that George Washington was the president during the Civil War. While we're here, can I ask a second question to the Pros? The museum I went to had the descriptions in German and English. I don't speak German, so I was reading the English part, and I found quite a lot of grammar errors. Do museums hire proofreaders? If I bring this up after the factual error, do you think they'll appreciate it, or do you think they'll just think that I'm being a prick? Thank you for your time.
