Nexus Lecture Philippe de Montebello -

Auditorium Tilburg University

As Director Emeritus of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Philippe de Montebello was the judge of art from all ages and cultures. What makes a good work of art? How can we recognise it? And how should a museum treat its art works, its visitors and its financers? How elitist or how democratic ought it to be? And how does it relate to the academic world?
