What are museums for?
Three highly contrasting views reflecting current debates and controversies in policy and practice
An article from the The Art Newspaper which looks at three authors and what they believe museums are for and the repercussions. I’ve made it perfectly clear what I think museum’s should be doing in the past (new followers might not know, if not grab a cup of tea and read these two posts - 1 2 - I wrote in response to an article in the Telegraph).
Anyone else have opposing views, additions or revolutionary new ideas for the role of the museum?

*Cough*
