I would like to echo the comments of others and say that I agree that collections concerns should stay a part of this list and not move elsewhere. Just because the collections people are lurking doesn't mean we're not out there. So let's start talking about collections concerns on the list. The TYVEK query and information over the last week or so was a good one. I'll try to start another one here with questions - Why is it that collections responsibilities and education/exhibit concerns have become some separated in modern museum institutions? Should we be worried about this dichotomy? When the public face of a museum through exhibits, publications, parties doesn't reflect what's happening in the bowels what does that mean about the institution? When collections concerns don't take into account public responsibility, what does that mean? Just a few thoughts, comments please? Jessie Johnson Texas Memorial Museum [log in to unmask]
