Museums are like the quiet car of the world. It's a place you can come to escape, where there's authenticity, there's uniqueness, there's calm, there's physicality.

Going to a museum is one of those inexplicably tiring things. You're not actually doing anything, more shifting your weight from room to room than walking. And yet it is one of the more tiring things one can do, no matter how thrilled you are by the exhibits.

Some of our greatest historical and artistic treasures we place in museums; others, we take for walks.

It's great, I guess, when your paintings are hanging up in a museum.

A lot of our insights are based on the ways in which people spend time at museums. They're curious, open, interested, and engaging. They want to express themselves and see their own identity refracted through the museum's.

Museums, I love museums.

A museum should not just be a place for fancy paintings but should be a place where we can communicate our lives through our everyday objects.

I'm lucky. Usually you're dead to get your own museum, but I'm still alive to see mine.

Museums provide places of relaxation and inspiration. And most importantly, they are a place of authenticity. We live in a world of reproductions - the objects in museums are real. It's a way to get away from the overload of digital technology.

Every museum is full of nice things. That's the opposite of before. It was important things or serious things. Now we have interesting things.
