The Mindful Museum

In all museums the act of recognizing the shape of human lives in the traces of old objects goes on. Works of art exist simultaneously in the past, from which we draw them, and in the present, in which we see them, and each of us parses the formula of time past and time present in our own way. The museum enables us to grasp human time as something that belongs to us, and as something that is outside us, at once social and, in a way, sacred.
