Museum Quotes

People today read less, take fewer museum trips, and attend fewer concerts. Is that because these activities aren’t as fun? The decline... can be traced, at least in part, to unconscious stimuli that make us live faster Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a favorite place to see art. I like to encounter it anywhere, museum, gallery, home, studio, street... I do prefer to see good art, when I see art, but it doesn’t matter where I see it Picture Quote #1

Why is comedy the only form of the arts where people think they have to agree with or approve the content? You don’t walk through a museum with a towel and throw it over paintings you don’t like Picture Quote #1

I’m not interested into victim photography. Photographing people suffering and putting it on a museum wall is too weird Picture Quote #1

Despite living in an increasingly digital world, there are a few things I still like to keep as physical reminders. So every time I see an exhibition, I make a pit stop at the museum gift shop to buy a postcard of something that inspired me Picture Quote #1

I seldom go into a natural history museum without feeling as if I were attending a funeral Picture Quote #1

I’d like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right Picture Quote #1

I think about that all of the time and I have this fantasy that I am going to work at a museum someday! I would love to do something like that! Picture Quote #1

I am making a collection of the things my opponents have found me to be and, when this election is over, I am going to open a museum and put them on display Picture Quote #1

The main function of the museum has been to serve as a pedestal upon which a clique of socialites pose as patrons of the arts Picture Quote #1

I can’t stand these damn shows on museum walls with neat little frames, where you look at the images as if they were pieces of art. I want them to be pieces of life! Picture Quote #1
