Okay, I admit a little too sweeping. Anecdotally though, I saw no children who looked very engaged in the art at the Louvre, d'Orsay, l'Orangerie, Rodin, Picasso, or the National Gallery in Ottawa. They generally run around, makes lots of noise, and don't seem to really care. My kids also weren't interested. We tried, but they weren't, so we just instructed them to be quiet and bear with it until my wife and I were done.
I guess I wouldn't say that it's just kids, but adults who don't care either and just want to take a photo of every single painting or sculpture.
