This brings up a related, if not somewhat divergent, point in my opinion. With
more communication and education of the runnings and funcionings of museum, the
public would better understand what it takes to run a museum. Maybe be willing
to offer more donations? Anyway, it would sure keep people from asking, "What
exactly does a [curator] DO?"
