The Cantor Art Center at Stanford University did an unusual and wonderful exhibition about collecting called "Question" about four years ago. The show was an experiment, posing questions about the Cantor's collection that visitors often ask, and encouraging the public and the staff to talk to each other about the works, about behind the scenes museum activities.
