3/21- Place of the Muses

In this class today, one of the most intriguing subjects I've ever heard of has been introduced.  I had no notion that the term Museum came from the Muses.  Not a clue.  It totally changes my minds' perspective on these edifices.  Museums have always taken the place of church for me.  They are holy places, where the creation is worshipped.  And these creations have always inspired me, I just never imagined that they were created to inspire.
