How else do you get money? I understand that grants and sponsorships are VERY important sources of income, but if you are an admission-charging institution, education programs should generate income. What else are visitors paying for if not to be educated? -----Original Message----- From: Tanasak Krabuanrat [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 1999 8:40 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: education in museums Education departments are being designated as discrete cost centres within the museum, cost-effective management is needed and in some cases to generate income is important . But education department should not be designated a profit center within the museum. There is a moral issue on wheter educational activities should be used to generate income. How do we draw the line on this matter, when is considered appropriate and moral and when is not?
