 GU - Thoughts on museums
Museums are currently in a transition state, and are in the process of redefining who they are and what their goals are.
Museum collections are interesting because upon acquisition, objects enter a liminal period where they are neither alive nor dead but preserved for an unknown posterity.
Another idea is that visitors to a museum, enter a liminal space apart from their normal lives where rules of interaction are altered, this space is then used as an interface to bring about a transition state within their moral/cultural/social behavior towards a more dominant societal norm (at least in theory).
