Craftsmanship

Some people do get fascinated by the frames rather than the paintings. See also:

• Completing a guided tour without punching the person who kept asking how much the frames are worth.
• A visitor wanting to know if the same person could frame one of their paintings, as had framed the cameos (nope, they are so dead right now)
• A visitor who kept touching frames to see if they were real gold, because they didn't believe the staff, and thought there should be more than just a rope to protect the golden frames.
