"A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established"

John Cotton Dana's quote suggests that a great department store is more like a museum of art than any of the museums we have actually yet established. He indicates that a department store is quickly accessible and open at all hours, making it more convenient than a museum. He likewise indicates that an outlet store is more like a museum of art than any of the museums we have actually yet established, suggesting that it has a variety of products and products that can be seen and experienced. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the lack of variety and accessibility of museums, and the convenience of a department store. Dana's quote indicates that an outlet store is a great location to experience art and culture, which it is more like a museum than any of the museums we have yet established. This might be seen as a call to action for museums to become more available and open up to the general public, and to offer a broader range of experiences.
