Les Musées (A Bit of French with A&C podcast)

Quote me on this!

French novelist André Malraux (1901-1976)

André Malraux

And we leave you with this interesting reflection about museums by French novelist and art theorist André Malraux. Food for thought 🙂

“Les musées sont pour moi des lieux où les œuvres du passé, devenues mythes, dorment en attendant que les artistes les appellent à une existence réelle.”

(To me, museums are places where works of art from the past, turned into myths, lie dormant, waiting for artists to call them into true existence.)
