Reshaping the Art Museum
http://www.artnewsonline.com/issues/article.asp?art_id=2692
Art museums have not been very good at communicating. Science and natural-history museums have done a much better job of remaking themselves to adapt to the 21st century by creating interactive, educational, and family-friendly spectacles. Art museums can succeed by doing the reverse. Not apologizing for the fact that the picture doesn’t move—you do the moving. What’s lacking is the ability for visitors to understand it because they’re not given information or training.
- Peter Marzio
Director, Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts
