A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Abigail Van Buren
A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established.
John Cotton Dana
A museum has to renew its collection to be alive, but that does not mean we give on important old works.
David Rockefeller
A museum is a place where one should lose one's head.
Renzo Piano
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt
Also, while I was at Yale, I had a job teaching kids at the museum.
Robert T. Bakker
An art book is a museum without walls.
Andre Malraux
Black people should have recognition for themselves and their backgrounds and their relationships with other people in the world and thus lose some of their alienation. This museum has certainly stood for that in this town.
Katherine Dunham
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.
David Rockefeller
Eco sees the intellectual as an organizer of culture, someone who can run a magazine or a museum. An administrator, in fact. I think this is a melancholy situation for an intellectual.
Antonio Tabucchi
Give me a museum and I'll fill it.
Pablo Picasso
How does one measure the success of a museum?
Paul Getty
I also got a chance to go to the American Museum in New York, which helped my interest.
Robert T. Bakker
I am making a collection of the things my opponents have found me to be and, when this election is over, I am going to open a museum and put them on display.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I do not exactly remember at what period I started my museum which absorbed so much of my time.
Pierre Loti
I don't know a single collector or museum director who says: 'Oh, he's on a list, so I think I'll buy something of his.' The people who buy my art put a little more thought into it than that.
Olafur Eliasson
I have a debt, a loyalty to the museum; the best place for me to do what I wanted to do.
George Gaylord Simpson
I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.
Lewis H. Lapham
I seldom go into a natural history museum without feeling as if I were attending a funeral.
John Burroughs
I was in Beijing a month ago working on the smoke project in collaboration with an architect there, and I was asked very directly whether it was safe to breathe in the smoke. They did not have confidence in the museum not to use harmful smoke, and they certainly didn't have confidence that the city would protect them from harmful smoke.
Olafur Eliasson
