Tips from a Museum Tour Guide, 2: Think



Although Joseph Beuys said that a museum should be like a university with objects, people usually don’t want to think for themselves in museums. They want a wall text, labels, and a guide like me to explain everything. They don’t believe that based on their own experience of art, they are able to achieve legitimate knowledge. A few weeks ago a lady complained to me that there should be computers in every space, just like in the Jewish Museum, to search for information ad hoc. Open Wikipedia! As a friend of mine said, thinking is a dangerous activity.
