What can museums do?

Visual literacy is the ability to notice, make sense of and create images. The cacophony of visual noise makes it more and more difficult to make sense of the visual world.

The museum has the potential to be a laboratory for visual thinking and a

repository of pictures and creative efforts that have the capacity to expand one's experience of the world.

The human mind rarely imagines purely in words but, as the word suggests, in images. Such an awareness is required not just for visualising, but for generating wholly new ideas.
