Several museum-lers responding to this thread have quoted the official(?)
definition of a museum put forth by the AAM.  Unfortunately, I did not
save these messages and now find myself in need of this information for
an article I'm writing.  Could someone provide me with that definition?
You can e-mail me direct to avoid wasting everyone else's time.
