The Association of Science-Technology Centers, an international nonprofit association of science centers, has a report, Communicating Controversy: Science Museums and Issues Education by the Issues Laboratory Collaborative (1995), that addresses presenting controversial issues in science museums. The report indicates that, despite recent events in the museum field, the public is increasingly willing for museums to display exhibits on controversial subjects, as long as the museum shows both sides of the issue. Communicating Controversy provides the results of the survey as well as important information on how museums can examine controversial issues without themselves becoming the focus of the controversy.
