The new 9/11 Memorial Museum opened to a chorus of praise and its fair share of criticism…but what many critics seem to ignore is the main question before us…is a museum necessary in the first place?

And apart from the 9/11 Museum, think about the question in terms of art and creativity in general. Are we still going to museums to experience something or to be told what's in front of us, what to think? Do we view art with the same giddy curiosity as we sit down to take-in a movie or do we demand an explanation, a synopsis, the second the first piece crosses our view? Do you go to a gallery for the beer or to actually look at art?
Are we looking or experiencing?
