By a museum, I assume you mean an institution dedicated to the events of Sept. 11 and the aftermath. If that is done with sensitivity, I think it would be most appropriate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
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.
Museums are like sports stadiums, hotels and hospitals: they are in the category of captive-audience dining.
Individually, museums are fine institutions, dedicated to the high values of preservation, education and truth; collectively, their growth in numbers points to the imaginative death of this country.
A museum is like a valuing machine. Museums and the industrial society started at the same moment, and they're really tied into each other. They've been all about displaying objects and the kind of wealth that can be derived from objects and promoting that point.
Museums are not normally presenting the works on the walls as provocations to work. It's more like going to a Jacuzzi.
Shouldn't a great museum foster serious seeing before all else?
Museums are good things, places to look and absorb and learn.
What would I put in a museum? Probably a museum! That's an amusing relic of our past.
