1.In your opinion what is the role of a museum?
The role of a museum is to ask questions and ignite a different point of view on the past and the future through the present.
2.What are your favorite museums in the world? Why?
I essentially love museums, yet there are some I have a particular connection to. I love the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan and the MAXXI. The Louvre and the Kunsthistorsches Museum are also very special places to me.
There is a private museum in Austria, the Museum Liaunig that I find architecturally quite interesting as well. The Museum Haus Konstruktiv, located in a former power station in Zurich is another favourite of mine, I guess that might have something to do with my work.
