Art Museums

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or museums:

“The trade of advertising is now so near perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement. But as every art ought to be exercised in due subordination to the public good, I cannot but propose it as a moral question to these masters of the public ear, whether they do not sometimes play too wantonly with our passions.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.”
—Henry James (1843–1816)
