Museum Quotes

Black people should have recognition for themselves and their backgrounds and their relationships with other people in the world and thus lose some of their alienation. This museum has certainly stood for that in this town Picture Quote #1

We have a group of friends of the museum who try to raise, if they can, periodically something to help us. Of course, the main thing about a building like this is its upkeep. It needs central heating and it needs central air conditioning Picture Quote #1

That which, perhaps, hears more nonsense than anything in the world, is a picture in a museum Picture Quote #1

The museum spreads its surfaces everywhere, and becomes an untitled collection of generalizations that mobilize the eye Picture Quote #1

Eco sees the intellectual as an organizer of culture, someone who can run a magazine or a museum. An administrator, in fact. I think this is a melancholy situation for an intellectual Picture Quote #1

It was a movement that had all the art critics, all the museum directors in its thrall Picture Quote #1

I do not exactly remember at what period I started my museum which absorbed so much of my time Picture Quote #1

Surely nothing has to listen to so many stupid remarks as a painting in a museum Picture Quote #1

Nothing seems more like a whorehouse to me than a museum. In it you find the same equivocal aspect, the same frozen quality Picture Quote #1

What would I put in a museum? Probably a museum! That’s an amusing relic of our past Picture Quote #1

My philosophy is that I’m an artist. I perform an art not with a paint brush or a camera. I perform with bodily movement. Instead of exhibiting my art in a museum or a book or on canvas, I exhibit my art in front of the multitudes Picture Quote #1

The artist is a collector of things imaginary or real. He accumulates things with the same enthusiasm that a little boy stuffs his pockets. The scrap heap and the museum are embraced with equal curiosity. He takes snapshots, makes notes and records impressions on tablecloths or newspapers, on backs of envelopes or matchbooks. Why one thing and not another is part of the mystery, but he is omnivorous Picture Quote #1

I believe in walking out of a museum before the paintings you’ve seen begin to run together. How else can you carry anything away with you in your mind’s eye? Picture Quote #1

You’re like a witness. You’re the one who goes to the museum and looks at the paintings. I mean the paintings are there and you’re in the museum too, near and far away at the same time. I’m a painting. Rocamadour is a painting. Etienne is a painting, this room is a painting. You think that you’re in the room but you’re not. You’re looking at the room, you’re not in the room Picture Quote #1

I’m in favor of an art that does something other than just sit on its ass in a museum Picture Quote #1

The ear plays the role of the guide in the museum in the concert I’m taking now. We don’t have an oral guide, we have to provide it ourselves. One reason why active listening is absolutely essential Picture Quote #1

Your rainbow panorama enters into a dialogue with the existing architecture and reinforces what is assured beforehand, that is to say the view of the city. I have created a space which virtually erases the boundaries between inside and outside – where people become a little uncertain as to whether they have stepped into a work or into a part of the museum. This uncertainty is important to me, as it encourages people to think and sense beyond the limits within which they are accustomed to moving Picture Quote #1

Some people’s photography is an art. Mine is not. If they happen to be exhibited in a gallery or a museum, that’s fine. But that’s not why I do them. I’m a gun for hire Picture Quote #1

The line I trace with my feet walking to the museum is more important and more beautiful than the lines I find there hung up on the walls Picture Quote #1

A visit to a museum is a search for beauty, truth, and meaning in our lives. Go to museums as often as you can Picture Quote #1

I never think that sticking slavishly to one period is successful, a touch of nostalgia adds charm. One needs light and shade because if every piece is perfect the room becomes a museum and lifeless Picture Quote #1

My opening line to my students, and a recurring theme in my classes, was that the big design problem isn’t designing a house for your parents or yourself, a museum, or a toaster, or a book, or whatever. The big design problem is designing your life. It’s by the design of your life that you create the backboard off which you bounce all your thoughts and ideas and creativity. You have to decide what it is that you want to do each day Picture Quote #1

Music is art to me, and you don’t censor art. You don’t go into a museum and censor things Picture Quote #1

The time was when a library was very like a museum and the librarian a mouser among dusty books. The time is when the library is a school and the librarian in the highest sense a teacher Picture Quote #1

The deep sea is the largest museum on earth, it contains more history than all the museums on land combined, and yet we’re only now penetrating it Picture Quote #1

One must picture everything in the world as an enigma, and live in the world as if in a vast museum of strangeness Picture Quote #1

When you’re working on a film, it’s almost like photographing paintings at a museum. You’re photographing somebody else’s world. I just try and interpret it and make it real, and make it what the actors are about, what the director is about, and what the film is about Picture Quote #1

I care much more about saving the lives of mothers and babies than I do about a fancy museum somewhere Picture Quote #1

If there are no films or plays of interest to me, I don’t go. I know how to go to a museum or a library or pick up a good magazine or I can watch the sun set. I know how to live. There’s a whole creation out there full of magic and wonder to be explored Picture Quote #1

I do not think that a museum needs to engage with pop culture in order to make itself interesting to museumgoers. Museums are already interesting and engaging with pop culture for its own sake is just a quick way to seem and become dated Picture Quote #1
