Also, while I was at Yale, I had a job teaching kids at the museum.
Everything you write as an artist is about your legacy and your catalog and how you would look in a museum.
It's very easy to fool yourself that you're working, you know, when you're really not working very hard. I mean, I'm very lazy. So for me, I would always have an excuse, you know, to go - quit early, go to a museum, you know. So I do everything I can to make myself remember this is a job. I keep a schedule.
Some archives and record offices are housed in your local museum or library; others have their own stand-alone building. Wherever they are, they are a treasure trove.
I am making a collection of the things my opponents have found me to be and, when this election is over, I am going to open a museum and put them on display.
Many of the museum directors who make an impact personally curate exhibitions.
We Brits print banknotes out in Debden in Essex, and have contracted it out to the private sector. Here in the U.S. it is a government operation right in the heart of Washington next door to the Holocaust Museum.
My husband is the romantic one in our relationship. He's always doing sweet things for me. Each year, we recreate our first date - it was a blind date, and we met at the zoo, followed by a trip to the museum. I'd have to say that's my favorite romantic date.
What would I put in a museum? Probably a museum! That's an amusing relic of our past.
The American Museum of Natural History is my son's absolute favorite place in the world! So we really, really, really love New York.
There's a statue of Jimmy Stewart in the Hollywood Wax Museum, and the statue talks better than he does.
Even when I was a little girl, I remember going to the Museum of Modern Art. I think my parents took me there once or twice. And what I really remember is the design collection.
I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all the other museums.
Computers let people avoid people, going out to explore. It's so different to just open a website instead of looking at a Picasso in a museum in Paris.
Dr. Margaret Oda, a true trailblazer in education, served as Honolulu school district superintendent and was the driving force behind the middle-school concept and the first chairwoman of the Japanese American National Museum.
I'm not against the intergenerational function of the museum, I am not against its address or celebration of the individual, but I am against its continuous, unreflected-on celebration of material production.
If people don't like Marxism, they should blame the British Museum.
A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established.
The whole experience co-curating the Biennial was a learning experience. The Suburban and The Poor Farm are not institutions. They are not by design, organized around power structures. Because I am someone who thrives on delineating context, seeing up close the inner workings of the museum was not wasted on me.
If you don't work yourself up into a fever of greed and covetousness in an art museum, you're just not doing the job.
I would love to see as many of the black players as possible in today's Major League Baseball make every effort to go to the Negro Leagues Museum and get a first-hand view of how it all started.
We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family in the books - pages and pages on it.

A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
But if I had to choose a single destination where I'd be held captive for the rest of my time in New York, I'd choose the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The role of a museum of modern art is to make a good selection and identify what we believe to be the coming movements, and that requires taste.
Going to a museum is one of those inexplicably tiring things. You're not actually doing anything, more shifting your weight from room to room than walking. And yet it is one of the more tiring things one can do, no matter how thrilled you are by the exhibits.
There's a lot of surplus rage from the '60s that was never really worked through publicly. I think a lot of that rage still exists, and I think you see that when John McCain runs a commercial that beats up on Hillary Clinton's earmark for a Woodstock museum.
I think everything belongs in a certain place, for kids who feel they don't belong anywhere. A museum is an institution like a library where everything has a place, everything belongs.
I think about that all of the time and I have this fantasy that I am going to work at a museum someday! I would love to do something like that!
I love collecting market stuff in Mexico. I have an etagere built onto the wall of my living room, which has cubicles that are lit and filled with super inexpensive pottery. You see them in a new way; they become museum pieces.
A museum's meticulous presentation - exhaustive captions, hushed lighting, state-of-the-art armature - creates an institutional authority that is constructed to seem impregnable.
Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.
I have a debt, a loyalty to the museum; the best place for me to do what I wanted to do.
The quality of the Neues Museum's construction is extraordinary even by German standards, and people can smell that quality. The concept would not have been so convincing without it.
Visiting a museum is a matter of going from void to void.
