Museums are central banks

Museums are central banks



I attended a new Art exhibition in Manchester today with the theme of Economics.

Goldin + Senneby produce work that probe the concealed operations of the financial world.

Here they reimagined the art museum as a central bank. (Which I rather enjoyed then doing) Observing that a museums stored collection is their financial asset that lies dormant. So they then took this stored asset and printed, using a printing press as many copies of it as they could. A quantitive easing of their prized asset and of the museums economy.

Museums are central banks.
