I want to punctuate a list of questions, all within quotes -  ie
He was full of questions: ‘Have you read this book on Pollock?’ ‘Have you
been to MOMA?’ ‘Have you seen the new Derrida book?'

Would I use commas, semi colons or no punctuation (as above) to separate these?

Thanks!

I wouldn't use the quotation marks between the questions.

"Have you read this book? Have you been to MOMA? Have you see that movie?"
