I think that museums should not be geared towards how much money they will make, but about the artwork itself. If people are really interested and intrigued by artwork they will still go to museums to see real, well displayed, engaging pieces of art. I do not believe that all museums must change their populist nature, but if a few begin the trend of engaging more thoughtful, question provoking art pieces then the museums themselves will not be about making the money. By dumbing down the art museums and not giving people a chance to depict the art and think for themselves, I believe, defeats the purpose of an actual museum. The museums do this to attract more people, but like the Brooklyn Museum itself has experienced, it may not be working. This museum includes a lot of "Saturday night fun" such as dancing, drinking, and cash bars. Although this may be a great community attraction, do people really come to see art or just to have fun and drink? The above picture is at the Brooklyn Museum where an orchestra performed during a Saturday night event.
