Diane, you may have inadvertantly opened a new fork in the road for many of
the discussions currently going on. My interest in the absurd notion that
museums should *actually* get to know and listen to their *community* makes
me keenly interested in your "useum". I'd love to come up and have a look!
Are the Muse's angry with you?
