To what extent are they there as a catalyst for change? Are they prepared to fight for some sort of social justice? Do we have a responsibility to reach all sides of society in what we offer? That means working hard to bring in people who wouldn’t normally visit. And leading on from that, should we have a workforce that reflects the community that are paying for us? People who work in museums sometimes say, ‘I didn’t train to be a social worker, I trained to be a curator.’ And of course we don’t want to go too far and lose the object in the middle. But the younger generation of curators is not happy for museums to be places where people come and worship in silence. They want them to be more like town halls, where debates happen, you can speak the unspeakable, and there are things going on. But a museum’s credibility is rooted in the objects.’","source":"Mark Taylor, Director of the Museums Association, UK. ","reblog":{"comment":"Mark Taylor, Director of the Museums Association, UK.

They don’t ask why they are not righteous themselves.
\n\nTo me the whole educational system regarding the Holocaust, which really got under way during the 1990s, served its purpose in terms of supplying facts and information. But there is another level of education, a level of awareness about the meaning of those facts. It’s not enough to cry. Empathy is noble, but it’s not enough.”

Six Things Passengers Waiting for This Flight to St. Louis Would Rather Do Than Sit in the One Empty Seat Next to the Guy with the Knitting Needles:
\n\n 1. Perch on an armrest next to a ten-year-old who spews BBQ Pringles every time he makes a big kill on his little video game player.
\n 2. Sprawl on a carpet that is visibly soiled with popcorn droppings and invisibly soiled with heaven knows what else.
\n 3. Spy on said Knitting Guy from behind a pillar and take his picture with an iPhone.
\n 4. Move toward the empty seat as though to sit down, then reconsider and walk away, then come back, then walk away, then come back, then walk away, then come back, then walk away, then come back, then walk away, then come back, then walk away.
\n 5. Greedily devour a McDonald’s Extra Value Meal while balanced unsteadily on the rim of a garbage can.
\n 6. Call “Maureen” and tell her you’re “still in Chicago” and that now you’ve “seen everything.”
