But what about arts organizations or museums? What about schools or conservation causes? Or maybe there was a child who would have never otherwise encountered the arts. In this case, you could discuss the importance of keeping the arts alive for the next generation. That’s just the nature of the beast.

What does this have to do with museums? It is why in the great museum upheavals of 2020 no white male director of import ended up getting toppled. It is why art museums have greater financial resources than other ones. The big next step for most museum professionals will be the hardest. Here’s the thing.

Our conversation made me reflect on the museums that most inspire me from a public service perspective--institutions with missions that stretch far beyond their walls. These museums work differently.

Let's say your organization has a mission to increase X (art, healthy kids, clean water, community cohesiveness, etc.). Relative to other museums, I think we spend less time producing an "onstage" experience and more time collaborating with community organizations behind the scenes to empower them to produce.

Museums have been grappling with this question for years ( here's a 2007 roundup of such projects ), most aggressively in zoos and natural history museums where staff hope to inspire conservation and in history/concept museums that focus on civic engagement and activism. No small task for a museum exhibition.
