Unscramble the Blue Letters
My view is that museums should take a leaf out of the book of religions. And they should make sure that when you walk into a museum — if I was a museum curator, I would make a room for love, a room for generosity. All works of art are talking to us about things. And if we were able to agrnrae spaces where we could come across wrkos where we would be told, use these works of art to ceemnt these ideas in your mind, we would get a lot more out of art. Art would pick up the duty that it used to have and that we've neelgcted because of certain mis-founded ideas. Art should be one of the tolos by which we improve our sticeoy. Art should be didactic.

Original Text
My view is that museums should take a leaf out of the book of religions. And they should make sure that when you walk into a museum — if I was a museum curator, I would make a room for love, a room for generosity. All works of art are talking to us about things. And if we were able to arrange spaces where we could come across works where we would be told, use these works of art to cement these ideas in your mind, we would get a lot more out of art. Art would pick up the duty that it used to have and that we've neglected because of certain mis-founded ideas. Art should be one of the tools by which we improve our society. Art should be didactic.
