I agree with Carol McDavid that museums need to open the process of interpretation and expose it to public view. If we take our educational responsibilities seriously, we should give the museum visitor the chance to challenge us. That can be done directly in exhibitions or it can be done in public programing. But post-modernist or not, we should be pretty careful about asserting a monopoly on the Truth. To do so will make us not only boring and arrogant, but irrelevant.
