David Rockefeller Museum Quotations

They decided to establish a museum of modern art where works by contemporary artists would be shown. Mother was viewed as a very progressive person, and not everybody liked the paintings she bought.

A museum has to renew its collection to be alive, but that does not mean we give on important old works.

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.

By a museum, I assume you mean an institution dedicated to the events of Sept. 11 and the aftermath. If that is done with sensitivity, I think it would be most appropriate.
