Most art is meant to be seen, or in some cases heard. Why do you need to touch, much less taste or smell the piece? Plus, creating a replica is not the real thing. I feel you lose the true essence of the piece in a copy, so even touching a copy is not like touching the real thing. I don’t know. Most art is meant to be seen, or in some cases heard.

Artworks should be well preserved so that future generations have the chance to see them. I agree with Siwen.

Though I have never been to the Museum of Natural history is it absolutely on top of the list of the next museum I want to visit. In my opinion, "visitng a museum" does have such a negative conotation in many peoples' eyes which is devestating - a museum should enrich our minds and spark imagination and ideas! You gave a beautiful impression of how the art and exhibits in this museum affected you. when you write about it, it's almost like I am able to visit the museum in my head - can't wait to check it out for myself!

Although I think that our five senses would help us tremendously in exploring things, I still sympathize with the museum people - if they were to let everyone appreciate their artworks with the five senses, they just would not last long. Perhaps museums should make cheap, yet close, replicas of the original work and allow the public to do anything they want with them, lol. Man, I also would like to touch every piece of art I see.
