Why Museums Are The New Churches By Jason Farago

In “Why Museums are the New Churches” by Jason Farago, he argues how the art museum has surpassed the church as the most important and ultimate building of our society. Also, Farago continues to show how people mimic and copy religious acts and rituals while visiting a museum. He provides numerous examples from history and buildings from around the world. He also gives many modern examples of this shift from churches to museums. Throughout his writing, Farago builds an argument that museums have become the most vital building, and he uses some interesting techniques along the way.

When readers read Farago’s argument, they can easily take note of his intelligence and ethical appeal. Farago uses an extremely mature voice throughout his argument.
