There s also whaTs called high culture. ITs that collection of arts (literature, opera, philosophy, and so on) that we commonly associate with highly educated, cultured people. For example, Shakespeare s plays, Mozart s music, and museum objects, like the Pharaohs tombs, are considered high culture. But popular culture has its art collection, too.
