Everyone behind them - they estimated 40-50 people - got turned away because the room was full. Unlike at the forum plaza, where people can stand around the perimeter if all the seats are full, in the museum, they just stop letting people in.
I guess it is hard to estimate in advance which forums will be popular and which won't, and I understand they have capacity limits in the museum theaters, but I still feel bad for the people who treked out to the museum specifically to see one of these presentations, got there early, and still got turned away.
