Why do you wear a backpack in front of a museum?

The answer is to protect the artwork. Someone wearing a backpack in the traditional fashion could inadvertantly turn and brush into/knock over something with their backpack. This is much less likely when the bag is worn on one shoulder, with the wearer being more aware of the bag and its position.
