That's down to bad marketing, not necessarily in the Observer, and putting on exhibitions that aren't attractive enough to make people want to go.
Put something on that people will be interested in, advertise it well, and they'll go.
In the past, Saturday and Sunday was chock-a-block, you had to queue to look at certain things.
In the depression of the thirties people flocked to museums and art galleries, because they were skint, and it was free. There is no earthly reason Accy's Haworth shouldn't be as busy as many others are today.
