Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the same.

      Museums have long been considered special places where the authoritative insights of trained experts are shared with members of the public. It is true that we as an institution have something unique to offer the public – the collections we amass and our intellectual insights into the creativity of artists. However, to paraphrase Picasso (and many other artists for that matter), in producing an art work, the artist carries the creative process half way – it is the responsibility of the viewer to
complete the process. This visitor-centred half of the creative process is based on the personalising of symbolic objects. This process is not prescriptive, so institutions cannot control how the personalising occurs. Museums can, however, be supportive of visitors as they personalise their experiences with the art works.

    What does the visitor side of creativity look like ? This creativity is idiosyncratic – sometimes tentative, sometimes dogmatic; at times it is intensely moving, other times shocking, while at other times it is insightful. To this writer, visitor-based creativity provides a powerful complement to the intellectual insights of the museum experts. Accordingly, I submit that one of the core partnerships that needs to be fully developed in museums (and particularly art museums) is an honest and respectful relationship between the public and the institutions – a partnership in which the many meanings of art can be explored and honoured.
