Many museums and art galleries have even posted notices announcing that rare Pokémon can be found on their premises, inviting visitors to come catch them while also attracting more people to view the collections.

However, not all places welcome these players. Sites such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland have stated that they hope players will not play the game on their grounds, as a sign of respect for these solemn and serious venues.
