It is becoming a space of consumption. How do you feel about museums having commercial spaces like restaurants, book stores and giftshops? Does it ruin the museum environment? Does it detract from the art? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The gift shop is entirely appropriate. I love art, what better place to acquire a piece of art than where you've just viewed it. |
