What does this have to do with museums? It is why “Women artists” are “finally getting their due.” It is why in the great museum upheavals of 2020 no white male director of import ended up getting toppled. It is why academia requires only academically trained artists succeed. And, if museums don’t, we’ll become obsolete.
