" Museum is social functions of art as well as artful representations of culture, history, nature and technology- in this institutional context can produce shared meanings, cultural capital reserves, and aesthetic lifestyles that promote social cohesion, economic growth, and political stability, particularly under the increasingly global guidance provided by transnational firms, professional- technical associations, and mass media network. " ( Luke, Timothy W. )

Museums serve as ontology, telling us what reality really is, sophisticated narrative indirection orders social and personal behaviour, making this sort of knowledge often for more powerful than direct legislation by sovereign agencies. (Luke, 2002:220)
