RE: Harassing Museums

["Simon, Robert (RISI)" <RISI@chevron.com>]

Regarding museums I understand their dilemma regarding access past the
public galleries. However, to truly be a public trust institution they need
to allow easier access to interested persons. References are nice, but in
reality, may not be easily obtainable. In addition, since museums mostly
have items collected on public lands, held in the public trust, for the
public to view and appreciate, they need somehow to find the financing to
increase their public displays or at least rotate them more often. That is
the least they can do to fulfill their obligation to the public.
