In Chapter 16, Holden talks about the Museum of Natural History. Why Do You Think Holden Like The Museum?

Throughout Chapter 16, Holden talks about the Museum of Natural History. In the chapter specifically, Holden says that the only reason why likes the museum so much is because nothing changed. He has been to the museum ever since he was little, and like his sister, Phoebe, he has gone there every Saturday. Every time he would go there everything stayed the same place, and nothing had changed. Maybe the reason why he likes the museum so much is because he wants his life, just like the museum, to stay the same. He doesn't want to change and mature up. The museum probably symbolizes for Holden the place where everything would remain the same no matter what happens.
