We are looking for examples, preferably of fairly recent date, of
institutions or individual professionals who have experienced political
pressure aimed at altering or otherwise affecting their public exhibition
process. (The most recent and most visible example, of course, is the
National Air and Space Museum's future exhibition that includes display of
the Enola Gay.) We want this information for an upcoming AAM Board of
Directors meeting during which the rights of curators will be discussed.
You may respond to the list, or to me directly, as you prefer. Discretion,
if requested, will be guaranteed. Thanks to all for your help.
