It is the old truth, because the answer to question “what is museum?” Alters as swiftly and unexpectedly as the answer to question “what is art?”. According to the western wisdom known ever since the antique times, one cannot and must not rely on answers. They are ever inconsistent and coupled with time. However, the significance is borne by the question itself. It will exist, as long as art and thinking will. In consequence, we don’t want the museum to be a repository of ready answers, namely, a place to come to and to find out. Instead, we want it to be a place where to go to in order to think and to question every answer obtained, thus step by step getting closer to the ideal, namely, the truth...
