The gallery needs polarising filters on their lights. That would cut down on the reflections. Alternatively, the paintings could have been framed behind polarised glass. If you look at the work through polarised sun glasses, you won't see the reflections. Light is magic. :)
These galleries are focusing on organizing exhibitions and bring artists to the public, not on making photographers job easier 😎
Sorry for being so direct, but that's the brutal truth.
The reflections are still present (usually) when observing with the eye - but our brains are pretty good filters - still, it is best practice to have lights with such filters to ensure the best observational experience. If only for the Art to to be viewed with the pun - totally intended - in the best light :)

The two galleries I'm visiting frequently, are sponsored by the municipality, so you can imagine. I'm glad it's free and there's a new exhibition every two weeks. Lights? Forget it 😂
The local gallery that I'm a member of (and on the committee!) is currently moving premises. I'm making sure the lights are polarised, so it is an important matter to me! :D
