Worts, Douglas
Abstract
Many new partnerships are being formed between museums and other cultural groups within society with the goal of making museums more relevant for people. From the author’s perspective, this more philosophical reason to forge new partnerships is at least as important as the economic-efficiency rationale. In his paper, he discusses a particular kind of partnership which can help museums relate better to their communities. Specifically, he addresses the benefits of an honest and respectful partnership between museums and the public.
