''A Romanesque crucifix was not regarded by its contemporaries as a work of sculpture;
nor Cimabue's 'Madonna' as a picture. Even Pheidias' 'Pallas Athene' was not primarily a statue.
So vital is the part played by the art museum in our approach to works of art to-day that
we find it difficult to realize that no museums exist, none has ever existed, in lands where the civilization of modern Europe is, or was, unknown; and that even amongst us,
they have existed barely two hundred years.''
(Andre Malraux, ''The Voices of Silence'', Bollingen Series XXIV)
