In response to David Haberstich's "MAJOR dissent to Cathy Brady's minor
dissent about the use of
 the word 'center.'":
Does anyone have an authoratative definition of "museum"? (I might be asking
a question that has recently been asked.  If so, please excuse me.)  At an
AAM conference in 1988(?) I heard someone quoting a relatively concise but
comprehensive definition of "museum" that seemed to ring a responsive chord
in museum professionals.  I have not been able to remember who quoted it nor
what was that person's source. Anyone have a good definition of "museum"?
