This may be the most intriguing
question in here right now? I firmly believe everything I have seen listed in
one way or another pertains to museums or the contents of one there of. Although
sometimes the topic may turn political and nasty(politics always does) its a
topic which can pertain to museums.How many here work in a History Museum, an
Archive or a Presential Library well coorespondance on the current controversy
could cross your desk.If someone decides to discuss intercourse, am I
mistaken or didnt they open a Sex museum in New York. If another decides to
discuss necrophelia, well there is a Museum of the Dead in Philadelphia.
Some one comes here looking for a job we all chip in with advice or do we
channel them to Jobs .com?Yes sometimes we talk preservation and consewrvation,
marketing,grant writing etc, but to me all topics somehow can be related back to
museums even the current controversy( which I knew I shoullldnt have opened my
mouth) We have been batting this around for what three weeks I myself have taken
many personal hits because of my stance, others have too(but much
gentler) .So what topics can we really say are inappropriate, for
tomorrow, the topic we discuss may very well become the next museum.I
recently started reading an article from Archeaology Magazine entitled, The
Spoils of War?and its intriguing and i soon as i figure out how to make a link i
will post for everyone to read.I would hope those who chose to chastise me for
my bluntness privately also tell those personally attacking other professionals
is inappropriate as well.well, enough said to me all topics in some way,
shape or form can be realted back to a
museum.
