I would like to thank James O Sullivan for posting the other
side (or should I say an other side) of the Greene Museum and
Collections controversy. The contrast between the public and
professional concerns should be familier to most of us in the
museum community.
 
Standing on the outside of this issue (the Greene Museum) looking
in, I have to wonder if the two sides have communicated their
respective concerns to each other. The other question that comes
to mind is: if part of a museum's role is to educate the public
and the museum is a public institution is one not obliged to
at least listen to the public view and possible learn from it?
A concensus may never be reached but an understanding might.
