Reply to comment by Hoz999 in LPT: When visiting a museum, find the volunteer attendants and kindly ask if they have a personal favorite piece in the gallery. They're generally more passionate and they’ll often show you random things that you’d otherwise look over by Pete_The_Chop
No. I didn’t see it that way at the time.
I live in Michigan and the Pontiac Silverdome was chosen as one of the sites for three WC games.
It was the only way I could get in to see the games since the tickets were out of my reach.
It’s the game I was interested in, not the institutional grift that FIFA is.

I volunteered for the US Cup in 1993 and for the World Cup in 1994.
I must say this volunteer thing is an American way of doing things. Lions Clubs, Rotarian clubs, Elks, etc.

Some museums do have their volunteer attendants wear a badge saying that. I believe the Detroit Institute of Art does that.
I love going there to see the Diego Rivera murals and hear about Frida Kahlo.

And also thank them for their volunteering.
Just see their faces brighten up when they hear that.
