As I went out the front door, I took two pictures of it with my cell phone. I wasn't exactly sure if it was one inch, but how does it look to you guys (providing it was not posted on a government building)?

Far View. There was one on both the left side of the doors and this one on the right side of the doors.

Closer View
While the issue is moot, because its been established that the museum is on city property. Its likely the sign would not hold up in court, Its not very conspicuous because it is so low, and not contrasting colors. I believe a reasonable person has a likely chance of not noticing the sign while entering the building.

The way I understand it, just going through a different entrance does not put you in the clear. Imagine the following courtroom scenario:

Prosecutor: Were you aware at the time that the building was 30.06 posted?
Defendant: The back door wasn't posted.
Prosecutor: That wasn't the question. Did you or did you not see the posting on the front door?

Now, answer "No" to this question, and you've just committed perjury. Answer "Yes" and you've just incriminated yourself. Because although the law says that a building does have to post 30.06 signs in a conspicuous manner, I do not believe it explicitly states that all entrances must be marked. All that matters in your case is whether or not you received "notice."

BTW, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything, just making the point that the law is pretty strict about this. Also, IANAL.
What is even mor troublesome i n this scenario is that depending on this defense you may be dependin on the people you are with to purger themselves.
