Hello,

I am researching museum exhibition design for my
masters thesis at Goldsmiths College in the UK.  I
would like to pose the following questions and would
really appreciate any responses.

Right now I am concerned with the museum's place in
certain societies, and I know this is a very broad
issue, but maybe if people have specific examples...I
am wondering whether the museum can be an accurate
representation of a current society.  For example, in
London we have the British Museum which as it stands,
seems to speak more to Britian's traditional colonial
society rather than the current situation today.  Are
national museums capable of the fluidity needed to
respond to cultural changes or should this be more to
the task of smaller community museums?

Western society seems to be becoming much more
individualistic, how can or should a museum reflect
the individualized society?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Renee Patrick
