I applaud Bernice Murphy's suggestion:
"Museums are permanent institutions that conserve and communicate knowledge
of the natural world and the cultural inheritance of humanity through
collections, records, memories, images, and sites they care for and
interpret, in public trust, for present and future generations."

It is clear, thoughtful, and seems to address all the issues that have been
raised in our discussion so far.
