There is a potentially large niche Twit-storm kicking off today. See https://twitter.com/#!/kidsinmuseums/status/173345416866308096 which refers to reports that Salford Museum barred two unaccompanied 13 year old girls from their premises for their own safety. I don't propose to comment upon that itself, but it raises an interesting question.
It is a given that all museums wish to increase their teenage visitor base. Today's teenagers are tomorrow's something else. So what is the minimum age that is rational and sensible to impose for insisting that a visitor be accompanied by an allegedly responsible adult? And, come to that, how many people of that age does one allow per allegedly responsible adult.
