Museums

Museums are not places where expired objects go to enjoy a gentle retirement. They're there to make us think about them, and the objects they display and about us and to argue. Museums are about the story of us. Places of learning. Places where we see our own controversies reflected.
Museums have always been political and controversial. A safe place for difficult conversations, constructively. Museums have to relate to the present. We study the past to find out about us. To think differently about us. And then our world helps us think about the past differently. It's a conversation. A place of refuge and inspiration.
