An interesting article in the New York Times about the Brooklyn Museum, "populist" exhibitions, the quest for younger audiences, shrinking endowments, and what is a museum for?
...Martin Baumrind, a trustee for 10 years who resigned this month because, he said, he had long opposed the museum’s direction. “What it has become is a party place and a center of celebrity — evidenced by the fact that they have partnered up with Bravo,” he said. “That is not what I signed up for.”
My question - what exactly DID you sign up for?
