Having just got very annoyed by the 'diary' piece in this months
Museum's Journal, I wonder, has anyone done anything on the topic of the
representation of disabled people in museums?  (Written anything on this
topic, re-displayed, re-written labels?)

For those beyond Museums Journal: basically, it was an anti-PC piece.
Personally, I think that if we all though of 'PC', as meaning 'polite
and considerate', museums would be better places for everyone.
