Museums Quotes

Museums are custodians of epiphanies, and these epiphanies enter the central nervous system and deep recesses of the mind Picture Quote #1

In the history of art there are periods when bread seems so beautiful that it nearly gets into museums Picture Quote #1

There’s probably more history now preserved underwater than in all the museums of the world combined. And there’s no law governing that history. It’s finders keepers Picture Quote #1

Someday it will dawn on man that woman does not read the wonderful books with which he has filled his libraries, and though she may well admire his marvelous works of art in museums she herself will rarely create, only copy Picture Quote #1

The art and architecture of the past that we know is that which remains. The best is that which remains where it was painted, placed or built. Most of the art of the past that could be moved was taken by conquerors. Almost all recent art is conquered as soon as it’s made, since it’s first shown for sale and once sold is exhibited as foreign in the alien museums. The public has no idea of art other than that it is something portable that can be bought. There is no constructive effort; there is no cooperative effort. This situation is primitive in relation to a few earlier and better times Picture Quote #1

Eloquent testimony to the recovery powers of wild animals frequently becomes apparent from the study of skeletons housed in museums Picture Quote #1

When we want mood experiences, we go to concerts or museums. When we want meaningful emotional experience, we go to the storyteller Picture Quote #1

Museums have no political power, but they do have the possibility of influencing the political process. This is a complete change from their role in the early days of collecting and hoarding the world to one of using the collections as an archive for a changing world. This role is not merely scientifically important, but it is also a cultural necessity Picture Quote #1

Modern man receives a large part of his knowledge and general education by way of pictorial impressions, illustrations, photographs, films. Daily newspapers bring more pictures from year to year. In addition, the advertising business operates with optical signals as well as representations. Exhibitions and museums are indeed offspring of this visual hustle Picture Quote #1

Churches are not museums that display perfect people. They are hospitals where the wounded, hurt, injured and broken find healing Picture Quote #1

Perhaps one of the most essential exercises in learning to paint is the copying of master works in the museums Picture Quote #1

A country that has few museums is both materially poor and spiritually poor... Museums, like theaters and libraries, are a means to freedom Picture Quote #1

I tell young people that the greatest paintings in museums are made with minerals mixed in oil smeared on cloth with the hair from the back of a pig’s ear. It’s that simple Picture Quote #1

Rumour has it that the gardens of natural history museums are used for surreptitious burial of those intermediate forms between species which might disturb the orderly classifications of the taxonomist 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

Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don’t care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years 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

Entering into the spirit of this interior, you will discover the best possible atmosphere in which to show fine paintings or listen to music. It is this atmosphere that seems to me most lacking in our art galleries, museums, music halls and theaters Picture Quote #1

Use your time to bathe yourself in the gift. Move your hand across the canvas. Go to museums. Make this into an obsession Picture Quote #1

What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive: the white ball sailing up into the sky, reaching its apex, falling and finally dropping to the turf, just the way I planned it Picture Quote #1

Museums just seem to have this borrowed cachet-if I want to seem cultural, I will design something cultural. I resist the idea that culture is only opera houses or theatres. Culture is your entire life around you: toilets, the bus, the kerb or the dump where you drag your waste. Culture has come to mean the arts, but it’s swimming pools as well Picture Quote #1

I’ve enjoyed photography, ever since I was a teenager, and I’m still at it. I’ve had shows in various cities, around the country, and I have a number of pieces in permanent collections in museums that I’m very proud of Picture Quote #1

Keep in mind that books, like art museums, are not always geared to the desires of the reader Picture Quote #1

Picasso has a volatile, explosive presence. He seems to take art back to an earlier function, before the centuries of museums and masterpieces; he is the artist as clown, as conjurer, as master funmaker Picture Quote #1

If you really want to seriously think about life, and therefore take painting very seriously... and take seriously the joys that it can bring to one, then you want to go to museums. You want to study the great of the past Picture Quote #1

They examined all my organs. Some of them are quite remarkable and others are not so good. A lot of museums are bidding for them Picture Quote #1

Furniture that is too obviously designed is very interesting, but too often belongs only in museums Picture Quote #1

My mother was a teacher, and when she wanted to show me art and literature and science, she’d take me to museums, parks and free exhibitions Picture Quote #1

If you’re a painter, it’s simply taken for granted that you’ll spend a lot of time in museums studying great paintings, but if you’re a cartoonist, it used to be very hard to see an original cartoon drawing Picture Quote #1

I grew up going to museums. I was privileged to discover art and artists in a very personal way Picture Quote #1
