The word “museum” comes from the Greek “Μουσεῖον” (Mouseion), which referred to a seat or “temple of the Muses.” A museum is a place dedicated to one’s encounter with the Muses — the nine daughters of Zeus who bestowed knowledge and creativity on mortals. The whole point of a museum is to reveal how someone encountered the Muses. When we walk into a museum and don’t see that encounter, it’s not a museum. In a true museum, the dance of the Muses is happening before your eyes. You know it, because you get inspired.
