Museums are not normally presenting the works on the walls as provocations to work. It's more like going to a Jacuzzi.
Hans Haacke
Image
Museums should be places where you raise questions, not just show stuff.
William Thorsell
Image
Museums are tombs, and it looks like everything is turning into a museum.
Robert Smithson
Image
Museums, I love museums.
Tony Randall
Image
Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Museums are managers of consciousness. They give us an interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves in it. They are, if you want to put it in positive terms, great educational institutions. If you want to put it in negative terms, they are propaganda machines.
Hans Haacke
Image
Museums that aren't perfect are the ones that I love. Museums that aren't overdesigned. I always like to visit the strange, odd museums. In New York, the Frick is absolutely my favorite, favorite place because I like to think that it was someone's home not that long ago.
Reed Krakoff
Image
Museums and bookstores should feel, I think, like vacant lots - places where the demands on us are our own demands, where the spirit can find exercise in unsupervised play.
John Updike
Image
Museums collect what's important in their respective countries. In Berlin's National Gallery, however, this isn't the case. They're interested neither in me nor the other usual suspects. It's simply a German reality.
Georg Baselitz
Image
Museums have traditionally been places that protect the art object. But in the last 40 years, a new type of museum has emerged - the Kunsthalle or alternative space which only presents temporary, contemporary shows. Yet art is not just about the future - it is about the future and the present, but it also can't forget the past.
Diego Cortez

My dads great. Hes an amazing artist. A sculptor. Hes wonderful and supportive. I love going to museums with him - we talk about... everything.
Grace Gummer
Image
I do not approve of museums trying just to get people to come in. Whistler was very, very clear on this.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
We don't need youth museums but we do need holy young people.
Pope Francis
Image
I make films, and festivals, museums, and academia are embracing the work. It will be heard. It's bound to happen because cinema is universal. You create it, some people will notice it, some people will watch it.
Lav Diaz
Image
The centuries-old history and culture of India, majestic architectural monuments and museums of Delhi, Agra and Mumbai have a unique attractive force.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I go to a lot of museums, I read a ton of poetry - anything that's a creative expression of oneself, I find really inspiring.
Rachelle Lefevre
Image
Boston was a great city to grow up in, and it probably still is. We were surrounded by two very important elements: academia and the arts. I was surrounded by theater, music, dance, museums. And I learned how to sail on the Charles River. So I had a great childhood in Boston. It was wonderful.
Leonard Nimoy
Image
Musical compositions, it should be remembered, do not inhabit certain countries, certain museums, like paintings and statues. The Mozart Quintet is not shut up in Salzburg: I have it in my pocket.
Henri Rabaud
Image
Since art is dead in the actual life of civilized nations, it has been relegated to these grotesque morgues, museums.
Walter Gropius
Image
Designers shouldn’t design for museums any more than mummies should die for them.
Ralph Caplan
Image
Eloquent testimony to the recovery powers of wild animals frequently becomes apparent from the study of skeletons housed in museums.
Louis Leakey
Image
Perhaps one of the most essential exercises in learning to paint is the copying of master works in the museums.
Igor Babailov
Image
Blessed is he who invented recording! But what a pity that he was not born centuries earlier! Think only of all that we would be able to hear and therefore understand better. Oh, the unending research in libraries and museums, the readings and collations of texts, the maddening desire to know the truth!
Wanda Landowska
Image
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.
