I am in no way an expert in issues related to racial and ethnic representation in the arts. As a feminist, when I really think about this issue, I realize that it's not solely one of Whiteness. They tell histories of white male conquest. They present masterpieces by white male artists and innovations by white male scientists.

The common museum knowledge on this issue is that adults are timid, that we have lost some of the wonder, impulsiveness, and active creativity of childhood days. Major research studies by the NEA and others demonstrate that adults well into their 60s are highly motivated to participate actively with cultural experiences.

History Museums OPPORTUNITIES - History museums are in many ways the best-suited for visitor participation. As cultural anthropology has swung away from a vision of authoritative history and toward the embrace of multiple perspectives, there is potential for those stories to come from all over the place, including visitors themselves.

I've seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

This is not to say that science centers are more censored than art or history museums—every kind of museum has its own hang-ups. And while narrative-based museums have long dispensed with the concept that museums present a neutral point of view, science centers still feel that their trustworthiness rests on their objectivity.
