You want insane curators, drop by the Victoria & Albert Museum's Print Room
in London, sign in (no appointment necessary) look thorough the card index,
request a print in their collection, like Strand and they bring you the
storage portfolio with 20 prints or so and YOU can peruse them at your
leisure, no gloves, no one looking over your shoulder, it's great....
No pens allowed in the room though.
