Art Museums, Inspiring Public Trust

Description: Whose Muse?: Art Museums and the Public Trust
Whose Muse?: Art Museums and the Public Trust
I HAVE STRUCTURED my discussion on the issue before us—on the art museum and the public trust—in two parts. First, there is an introduction in which I give my own interpretation of the term public trust in order to make sense of the second part, in which I propose to examine the state of art museums today and consider how current trends may be affecting that trust.
