Mental fatigue at the Museum

There probably is no better place than an excellent museum to test our capacity to withstand “information overload.” This was the case today when we visited the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and I couldn't help but scrutinize everything and miss not one single bit.

The end result was total drainage of my mental capacity and of my physical abilities by shear extension. This experiment validated once more the reason why my computer heats up when I ask it to do too much within a limited time-frame!
