I agree pretty much about your defenition of art :) except that I think "difficult to reproduce" applies only to the intellectual side of making art, the thought process behind it, or as you nicely call it, contemplation upon the idea of the artwork must contain some depth or, a certain degree of uniqueness (mentioned as point 6, indeed) even if the artist might have only needed one second to think up the idea, it must have sufficient "uniqueness" to realistically assume that not very many people would easily get the very same/a very similar idea :) Technical skills with the tools used to create the work can also make something difficult to reproduce, but, to me, this does not define the work as "art". As for the question of what is fit for a museum, I'll have to think about that.. I'm not quite sure if I'm going to agree on your point you made on that one.
