4/28

In this reading, Freeland discusses museums.  Freeland points out how museums usually have a target audience.  Not everyone has the same taste in art so it makes sense that there is a vast variety of museums to go to.  Freeland then discuess how Bourdieu studied the relationship between class and taste in art.  He claims that people of a lower economic class tend to not like classical stuff as much.  I don't want to agree with stereotypes really, but I can see how he came to this conclusion.  Lastly, he talks about the relationship of money and museums.  I have always assumed this.  Without money, an industry really can't survive.
