When works of art are presented like rare butterflies on the walls, they’re decontextualized. We admire their beauty, and I have nothing against that, per se. But there is more to art than that.

“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.”
