This brings us into big philosophical ground about art replacing religion. Art does replace religious faith certainly in Europe in the nineteenth century. The museum looks like a cathedral and its physical shape takes over the idea that it is a cathedral of knowledge.
這個問題進入了藝術與宗教的哲學思維，十九世紀的歐洲有藝術取代宗教的趨勢，你看博物館本身的建築就像一座大教堂，這是知識的聖殿。
