Arts Museum

Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or museum:

    Musick is certainly a very agreeable Entertainment, but if it would take the entire Possession of our Ears, if it would make us incapable of hearing Sense, if it would exclude Arts that have a much greater Tendency to the Refinement of human Nature; I must confess I would allow it no better Quarter than Plato has done, who banishes it out of his Common-wealth.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    To look at and properly appreciate the British Museum is the work of a lifetime.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
