28、wing passage.“Museum” is a slippery word. It first meant (in Greek) anything consecrated to the Muses: a hill, ashrine, a garden, a festival or even a textbook. Both Platos Academy and Aristotles Lyceum had a mouseion, a muses shrine. Although the Greeks already collected detached works of art, many

29、 templesnotably that of Hera at Olympia (before which the Olympic flame is still lit) had collections of objects, some of which were works of art by well-known masters, while paintings and sculptures in the Alexandrian Museum were incidental to its main purpose.The Romans also collected and exhibite

30、d art from disbanded temples, as well as mineral specimens, exotic plants, animals; and they plundered sculptures and paintings (mostly Greek) for exhibition. Meanwhile, the Greek word had slipped into Latin by transliteration (though not to signify picture galleries, which were called pinacothecae)

31、 and museum still more or less meant “Muses shrine”.The inspirational collections of precious and semi-precious objects were kept in larger churches and monasteries which focused on the gold-enshrined, bejewelled relics of saints and martyrs. Princes, andlater merchants, had similar collections, whi

32、ch became the deposits of natural curiosities: large lumps of amber or coral, irregular pearls, unicorn horns, ostrich eggs, fossil bones and so on. They also included coins and gemsoften antique engraved onesas well as, increasingly, paintings and sculptures. As they multiplied and expanded, to sup

33、plement them, the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined.At the same time, visitors could admire the very grandest paintings and sculptures in the churches, palaces and castles; they were not “collected” either, but “site-specific”, and were considered an integralpart both of the fabric of th

34、e buildings and of the way of life which went on inside themand most of the buildings were public ones. However, during the revival of antiquity in the fifteenth century, fragments of antique sculpture were given higher status than the work of any contemporary, so that displays of antiquities would

35、inspire artists to imitation, or even better, to emulation; and so could be considered Muses shrines in the former sense. The Medici garden near San Marco in Florence, the Belvedere and the Capitol in Rome were the most famous of such early “inspirational” collections. Soon they multiplied, and, gra

36、dually, exemplary “modern” works were also added to such galleries.In the seventeenth century, scientific and prestige collecting became so widespread that three or four collectors independently published directories to museums all over the known world. But it was the age ofrevolutions and industry

37、which produced the next sharp shift in the way the institution was perceived: the fury against royal and church monuments prompted antiquarians to shelter them in asylum-galleries, of which the Musee des Monuments Francais was the most famous. Then, in the first half of the nineteenth century, museu

38、m funding took off, allied to the rise of new wealth: London acquired the National Gallery and the British Museum, the Louvre was organized, the Museum-Insel was begun in Berlin, and the Munich galleries were built. In Vienna, the huge Kunsthistorisches and Naturhistorisches Museums took over much o

39、f the imperial treasure. Meanwhile, the decline of craftsmanship (and of public taste with it) inspired the creation of “improving” collections. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London was the most famous, as well as perhaps the largest of them.51. The sentence “Museum is a slippery word” in the fi

40、rst paragraph means that_.A. the meaning of the word didnt change until after the 15th century.B. the meaning of the word had changed over the years.C. the Greeks held different concepts from the Romans.D. princes and merchants added paintings to their collections.52. “ the skill of the fakers grew

Modern museums came into existence in order to_.A. protect royal and church treasures.B. improve existing collections.C. stimulate public interest.D. raise more funds.55. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Collection and collector
