“So vital is the part played by the art museum in our approach to works of art today that we find it difficult to realize that no museums exist, none has ever existed, in lands where the civilization of modern Europe is, or was, unknown; and that, even amongst us, the have existed for barely two hundred years. They bulked so large in the nineteenth century and are so much a part of our lives today that we forget they have imposed on the spectator a wholly new attitude towards the works of art. For they have tended to estrange the works they bring together from their original functions and to transform even portraits into ‘pictures’.” ~Andre Malraux p. 13-14.
