 Since the 1970s, a number of political theorists and social commentators have pointed to the political implications of art museums and social relations.Pierre Bourdieu, for instance, argued that in spite the apparent freedom of choice in the arts, people's artistic preferences (such as classical music, rock, traditional music) strongly tie in with their social position.So called cultural capital is a major factor in social mobility (for example, getting a higher-paid, higher-status job).
