An author may intend to "provoke thought" when they assume that the intended thinker is reluctant to do so.
This is risky, because the thoughts provoked may NOT promote the interests of the original author.

The "thoughts provoked" by museums might include the authenticity of the collection, the agenda of the interpretations, etc.
