Outside museums, in noisy public squares, people look at people. Inside museums, we leave that realm and enter what might be called the group-mind, getting quiet to look at art.

When the purse strings tighten up at museums, the institutions usually cut back and cancel shows. That's exactly the wrong reaction. In fact, now is a good time for them to loosen up - a chance to breathe and experiment a little - and go for the juicy solution lurking in their own basements.
当博物馆的钱包收紧时，这些机构通常会削减开支，取消展览。这完全是错误的反应。事实上，现在正是他们放松的好时机——呼吸的机会，尝试一下——去寻找藏在地下室里的汁液。
