Not quite. The key premise is that no matter how sophisticated people act, for the vast majority of residents, museums are something they voluntarily visit rarely if at all. And even if they do go, I’m skeptical about what they learn in them.

So, given the level to which residents’ attendance at museums and improvement from museums are (from my experience) vastly overestimated, if museums show up on your short list of reasons that some place is peachy to spend years in, I can only conclude that that place doesn’t have a lot going for it.

Museums might be a reason to visit a place, but reasons to visit & reasons to spend years somewhere are 2 different lists.

If you tell me you lived in Paris for 10 years, visited museums every month, and came out of each visit with a new insight on life, fine. I’m happy for you. But I would also say you have no resemblance to any college student I ever met.
