Museum curators have certain responsibilities, particularly if they operate a public museum. One is to ensure that if they have audiences such as young children, that they not display items which may traumatize them.
Some people make art that appears to have been created mostly for it's shock value. If there are people that wish to view such art, it would more appropriately be exhibited in a gallery that condones such displays and sufficiently warns patrons about the nature of the artwork (and in cases such as this one, excludes children).
For the same reason I do not patronize web sites such as Orgish, I would not visit a gallery that exhibited something so abhorent.
I do not deny artists the right to express themselves legally, however I also reserve the right to not support all art and artists.
