Sometimes part of the place to display art becomes art. Peeling wallpaper in narrow steep stairway of rural museum housed in a former tavern that was constructed 178 years ago.
Fittingly, what you see depends a lot on how you see it: this image is vulnerable to considerable shifts in how it looks based on slight changes in monitor settings or (when printed) slight changes in the color temp of room light.
"Art" often refers to decorative art with the test being whether the image deserves to be hung on a wall. Wallpaper tests the edges of that definition, often being a bland decoration. In this case, my impression is the deterioration of the wallpaper contributes additional interest, potentially allowing this image to be art by way of commentary and emotion more than to be tied to strict documentary photography.
