For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums.

If they give all of their money to the arts and education and we’re in human services and we have no connection to them, even though they are a well-known name, we might know what they look like, we might’ve had a passing conversation with them at one point, they’re still a fundraising unicorn.

Then I received this commentary from Elaine Heumann Gurian, a museum hero of mine who has been following the book club--and I had to include it. I had became convinced (around 1996) that there was something important about museums as socializing spaces that should be further explored. I was excited.
