I shot for French and British Vogue. The British Vogue one featured clothes by Chloe and was shot at Highgate and the John Soane Museum. It came out much better in my opinion. I only did one day and was working with my own make-up and hair people and a model who I've known for years.

If you go to Florence, it has all surface beauty, but like Venice, it's simply a museum of Renaissance times. Los Angeles is raw, uncouth and bizarre, but it's a place of substance. It has more new horizons than any other place.
Werner Herzog

We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family in the books - pages and pages on it.

In some ways painters have been more important in my life than writers. Painters teach you how to see—a faculty that usually isn’t highly developed in poets. Whether you take a walk in the woods with a painter, or go to a museum with one, through them you notice shapes, colors, harmonies, relationships that enhance your own seeing.

An art book is a museum without walls.
Andre Malraux

I'm going to put a museum on my ranch and people keep saying, That's a huge idea. Yeah, it's big, but not bigger than the average big movie. A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything. That's maybe a big gallery's total sales for a given year.

As for pictures and museums, that don't trouble me. The worst of going abroad is that you've always got to look at things of that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.
Margaret Oliphant

What I think museums do very well is that they say to a public, We have some stuff that's worth looking at.

My parents both had Oxford degrees, they read important books, spoke foreign languages, drank real coffee and went to museums for pleasure. People like that don't have fat kids: they were cut out to be winners and winners don't have children who are overweight.

One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like.
Muhammad Yunus

The Louvre is a morgue you go there to identify your friends.
Jean Cocteau

A Museum of fetishes would give special attention to the history of underwear.
Mason Cooley

PREHISTORIC, adj. Belonging to an early period and a museum. Antedating the art and practice of perpetuating falsehood.
Ambrose Bierce

I don't decide where I live. My wife decides. She's a curator of contemporary art, and she works at an art museum, so we go wherever she has a job. All basements look the same, so I can write from whatever basement I happen to be living in.
John Green

Art inspires me. Looking at art in a museum, listening to music, reading the works of other writers.
Theodora Goss

I'm spending a lot of time in the Palazzo and in the museums. I'm printing [pictures that I take] and making a binder with a mix of internet research and palazzo research that I'm planning to use for the upcoming works.
Camille Henrot

Man seems to be a rickety poor sort of thing, any way you take him a kind of British Museum of infirmities and inferiorities. He is always undergoing repairs. A machine that was as unreliable as he is would have no market.
Mark Twain
Image
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.
John Hodgman

I'd live in a museum if I could. I used to spend hours and hours in the Museum of Modern Art.
Sylvester Stallone

I don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.
Rainn Wilson

My mother's a genius. She just kept feeding me art on whatever we had paper plates, silver platter, didn't matter. You know, she just kept feeding it to me. So we went to see all kinds of theater. We would go to the art museum pretty much every Sunday, and I would watch her. She let me know that art was supposed to touch.
Jill Scott

Museums are tombs, and it looks like everything is turning into a museum.
Robert Smithson

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

If an army of monkeys were strumming on typewriters, they might write all the books in the British Museum.
