But not enough people care about it anymore, and the museum is fading into disrepair. Yesterday, I learned about the Silk Mill, a British historic site that is going through a dramatic community-driven reinvention. The Silk Mill is part of the Derby Museums , a public institution of art, history, and natural history.

Nina Simon, Lauren Bentua, and many others would host us in the halls of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art. The statements purport “standing with the Black community” and to be “devastated by the murders”. Science has a role to play in creating a more just society and science museums are an integral (and I hope inextricable) part of that.

It gave me a chance to really think about how we have been opening up our museum and what it means for our community. Museums can be incredible catalysts for social change. We're doing it in Santa Cruz and it has absolutely transformed our museum into a thriving community institution. But they're not there yet.

I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. The popular reference point for what a museum is--a temple for contemplation--is based on a Euro-centric set of myths and implies a white set of behaviors.

Many museums, big and small, thrive on events. At our museum, about 68% of casual visitors (non-school tours) attended through events this year.
