UNRESOLVED MUSEUM ISSUES: a voice from the inside - 1985 to now Museums enjoy considerable media attention these days. Much is pleasant. Examples include creating a new museum, expanding an existing one, hiring a distinguished staff person, acquiring a stellar collection, receiving a major financial contribution, and opening an important exhibition. But press coverage can also be about difficulties. When curiously unresolved, loudly controversial, or, debated ad infinitum, they are referred to as issues. Most are brought to the public's attention by museum outsiders. Insiders with complaints about museums tend to be discrete. This book is a collection of essays flouting the practice. They were written by a deeply esperienced museum practitioner and scholar over the past forty years. IEach discusses issues of importance to museum operations, governance, and public service.
