We at AAM/ICOM would like to make a suggestion for the International Museum Day theme: Museums: Building Community This is a topic we in the U.S. have been discussing widely and studying closely. We are trying to answer questions such as: What constitutes a community at the dawn of the 21st century? What role do museums play in defining preserving and enriching community? How can museums of all types best respond to the changes, challenges, and opportunities in the communities they serve? How can museums and other community organizations share knowledge with each other? What are the ideal circumstances in which knowledge can be explored and shared? Why not explore some of these questions with our communities as we celebrate International Museum Day. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Change ICOM-L subscription options, unsubscribe, and search the archives at: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/icom-l.html
