From Boullée To Bilbao by Andrew McClellan discusses how the museum came to be known as a utopian space. McClellan states that museums have developed into three metaphors the first is the ritual space because attending museums has slowly become more ritualist then attending church; the second is the museum is a tomb or a final resting place for art; the third is the museum has become a shopping mall. While these are all true interpretations there is much more to the development of museums becoming a utopian space.
