Famous quotes containing the word museum:

    “The Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident or for the pilgrim to see with awe. It is meant for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of incongruous intellectual food in one indigestible meal.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
