Quotes 

• Art Gallery Visitor : [admiring the TARDIS]  For me, one of the most curious things about this piece is its wonderful... afunctionalism.

  Art Gallery Visitor : Yes. I see what you mean. Divorced from its function and seen purely as a piece of art, its structure of line and color is curiously counterpointed by the redundant vestiges of its function.

  Art Gallery Visitor : And since it has no call to be here, the art lies in the fact that it *is* here.

  [Doctor, Romana and Duggan dash in and enter the TARDIS; it dematerializes] 

  Art Gallery Visitor : Exquisite. Absolutely exquisite.
