Unfortunately, ultra-focus on procedural details and professional behavior
might seem boring and inane to those from some other countries -- but after
working with dozens of museums in Europe, for whom the BORING DETAILS of loan
agreements, shipping, insurance, security, and trained preparators are often
virtually unknown, unheard-of, and un-thought-about  --  give me an inane
American museum anytime!!!!

profoundly disappointing. >>
