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.
