Actually their aim was the opposite - their art was to be the new and all old art should be destroyed and museums and libraries torn down!
Futurism was an artistic and social movement that emerged in Italy in the early 20th century, primarily founded by poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909. It celebrated modernity, technology, and the dynamism of the machine age, advocating for a break from the past and traditional artistic forms. Futurists embraced speed, violence, and the energy of urban life, aiming to capture the essence of contemporary experiences in their works. The movement significantly influenced literature, visual arts, music, and architecture, though it also had controversial ties to nationalism and militarism.
Futurist artists, including Umberto Boccioni, sought to break away from traditional artistic conventions and embrace the dynamism of modern life. They aimed to capture movement, speed, and the energy of contemporary urban environments, reflecting the rapid changes brought about by technology and industrialization. Boccioni, in particular, focused on expressing the physicality and emotional intensity of experience, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the subject and its surroundings. Through their work, Futurists intended to convey a sense of urgency and a celebration of the future.
The early 20th century saw a systematic undermining of the traditional rules of Western art, as artists overthrew long held conventions in a series of movements that flowered before 1920: Fauvists and Expressionists attacked traditional notions of pictorial representation through color and brushwork, culminating in completely abstract paintings by 1910. Cubists created influential new methods of composition in both painting and sculpture. Futurists embodied "the beauty of speed" in new ways, and Suprematists combined Cubist picture space with complete abstraction. During WWI, Dada asked the most radical questions about the nature of art itself. As part of a program of challenging the norms, many Modern artists looked to non-Western cultures for stylistic cues. Modern architecture also took definite form in buildings that used only the modern materials of concrete, glass, and steel, without decoration or reference to any past style. Modern art arrived somewhat later to the Americas, but artists on those continents also pursued Modernist techniques. Constructivists in Russia after the Communist Revolution united Modern styles with practical needs. Social Realists and Mexican muralists retreated from the more radical innovations of Modernism in order to communicate with the masses, often through art in public places. Bauhaus artists turned modern mass production toward a harmonious and beautiful home environment for consumers. Harlem Renaissance artists raised awareness of African American culture, some using Modernist techniques, and some looking past them back to African tribal arts.

One main belief of futurists is that the future is not predetermined. Another belief is that some futures are better than others. A third belief of futurists is that the actions taken in the present can influence the future.
The futurists were about developing new art and throwing out old art. They actually wanted to tear down museums and libraries! P.S. Thankyou Pernys32 for helping me answer this question.

The futurists believed that rhythm had the power to express the dynamism and speed of modern life in the early 20th century. By incorporating rhythm into their works of art, literature, and music, they aimed to capture the energy and movement of the rapidly changing world around them.
