... This may all seem a bit hard to believe, but in the past all I ever saw were these enormous tapestries hanging there, and they never, ever interested me. In fact, I've lately been of the opinion that the museum should take them down, and hang big modern art there instead. ...

I wish museums mixed things up more. For example, I'd like to see Poons in a French period room, or Duchamp in a Ladies Room. Brancusi next to armour, why not? Museum as future-shock, sorta. Pick your destiny.
Hold me! Thrill me! Kiss me! You're my pride and joy, etc. Now rearrange me.

Putting some of the most valuable works in some of the most distressed areas of the building creates an almost accidental coexistence between the art objects and their surroundings, encouraging experiment in how to display art.
Old art invaded by new artinappropriate combinations cab enhance the aura of both...
One step further, the inappropriateness itself become a form of art.

Strange too how Quondam has always been a bit of a virtual hermitage.
