RK Maybe it is interesting from an artistic point of view, which is always looking for the void thing to [[strikethrough]] fdlew [[/strikethrough]] follow.  I think for the [[strikethrough]] hud [[/strikethrough]] hundred thousand people who frequent these museums there should be something more to give them.

RS I just don't understand. They try to bring better life-fulfillment to people, but they just bring a nostalgia for the "finer" things of life.

AK There is no comparison between what is, what was, and what should be. The museums are filled with less and less work because there isn't anything to fill them with. Naturally, the Trustees will fill them with something, discoteques, swimming pools, tennis courts, traveling [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] exhibitions of educational value and then this becomes simply another school in the sky. If there's art being produced of all kinds, and if there is enough, should it be placed in a museum?  How can you answer? What good is the museum; shouldn't you call it by its real name and look for universities?  Since I am a university teacher I would immediately avoid such a classroom.

RS A lot of more rigorous kinds of abstractions seem to deny this kind of value, and this tends to upset the categories. I think that the [[strikethrough]] reason [[/strikethrough]] people cling to these values because as long as people are buying art they want to get their hands on something. The university is just another kind of business.

AK As long as you are going to have that situation you are going to have architects building museums.
