You should check the article "Courting Controversy in Museum Exhibits"
in volume 24/Fall 2005 of the Exhibitionist, a journal published by the

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] controversy in exhibitions

A question particularly for regional art museums:

We are dealing with how best to address issues of controversy in our
exhibitions, particularly as we are trying to attract new community
audiences who may be inexperienced art museum visitors.  Can you share
whether you shy away from controversy in your exhibition or program
selection, particularly since the culture wars of the last decade, or
instances where you think you have handled controversy well or poorly?
Thanks.

Barbara
