the same Q posted before.
The New Museum The recently completed new building to house the
exhibits and staff of the Central City Museum was located adjacent
to the campus of a private university. The new building was
financed by the generosity of local donors. The university provided
the land and would cover annual operating expenses with the
understanding that the museum would provide a resource for student
education. The new governing board would be made up of key donors
as well as selected university administrators and faculty members.
The planning committee of the governing board hired two business
students to interview various stakeholders about the future
direction of the museum in its new relationship with the
university. These interviews were conducted in person, and the
interviewees seemed uniformly interested and eager to help. The
major questions pertained to the future mission and goals for the
museum. Some excerpts from the interviews are listed below. A major
donor: I think the museum should be a major community resource. My
wife and I gave money for the new building with the expectation
that the museum would promote visits from the public schools in the
area, and particularly serve the inner-city children who don’t have
access to art exhibits. We don’t want the museum to be snobbish or
elitist. The focus should definitely be local. A university
administrator: The important thing is to have lively contemporary
exhibits that will attract both university students and community
adults and provide new insight and dialogue about current events.
We can bring attention to the museum by having an occasional
controversial exhibit, such as on Islamic art, and exhibits that
appeal to Hispanics and Afri- can Americans. This approach would
entail bringing in traveling exhibitions from major museums, which
would save the administrative costs and overhead of producing our
own exhibits. Head of the art history department: The key thing is
that the museum will not have the artistic resources or the
financial resources to serve the community at large. We have a won-
derful opportunity to integrate the museum with the academic
faculty and make it a teaching institution. It can be a major
resource for both undergraduate and graduate students in art
education and art history. We can also work with engineering
students, architecture students, and liberal arts students. This is
a unique opportunity that will distinguish our art history
department’s teaching mission from others in the country. A faculty
member in the art history department: The best use of the museum’s
relation- ship with the university is to concentrate on training
Ph.D.-level students in art history and to support scholarly
research. I strongly urge the museum to focus on graduate
education, which would increase the stature of the university
nationally. Graduate students would be involved in the design of
exhibits that would fit their research. Trying to make the museum
popular on campus or in the community will waste our limited
resources. Our Ph.D. graduates will be sought after by art history
departments throughout the country. The reason you have been given
this information from the interviews is that you have been invited
to interview for the position of museum director. The previous
director retired with the understanding that a new director would
be hired upon the completion of fundraising and construction of the
new building. You are thinking about what you would do if you took
the job.
