The whole environment inspires me..the grounds, the building, the ever-changing floral arrangement in the front lobby. I believe one of the obstacles is the “shoulds” we hear in our heads, as though museums were medicine. Free admission to the IMA gives me permission to pop in when I only have 45 minutes; I don’t have to check off everything. I can try a new gallery or visit my favorites. I always leave energized, hungry to create something myself.

As a stay at home mom, there’s only so many times you can walk around the neighborhood. The museum gives us a long pleasant walk with fantastic changing scenery.

Although I wouldn’t otherwise comment against another writer’s perspective, I found SJJJS’ remark that “that is what educated (semi-educated) people do,” a tad elitist. Many people find that elitist attitude (whether real or imagined) off-putting about museums in general.

I visit art museums because I find beauty there, a sense of peace, and yes, escapism from an often dreary or assaulting world. The learning along the way is co-incidental. One doesn’t need educational degrees or formal arts learning to appreciate the beauty of an art museum experience; only an opportunity to feel welcomed into that world.

Interesting post.
I think the whole area of “value’ for museums – galleries – etc – is a brilliant open space. One of my favorite entries into this topic Expressive Lives , ed by Samuel Jones , from the UK think tank Demos.

I am also still very enamored by the work of John Holden and his seminal piece
Cultural Value and the Crisis of Legitimacy
