Every day for the past two months, a man has entered the largest gallery in my museum. It also complicates the question of what is acceptable in a museum. If an artist can come into a museum and smash stuff, what does that tell visitors? It is not acceptable to walk into a museum and destroy another artist''s work of art.

I'm trying to reposition our museum as a cultural hub supporting creative and intellectual community growth. 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.

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. Our museum is growing, and I'm always weighing different ways to expand our impact. I feel great about this approach.

What does your museum have to say about it? What do visitors expect of museums, and what do museums expect of themselves, when it comes to timeliness? This is partially driven by museums, which want to be seen as "forums" for discourse, but also by the expectations of a media-saturated public. Pluto just got demoted.

It's Labor Day, and across the country, a working dichotomy is manifest in museums. For mostly practical reasons, museum staff offices have shifted over the last couple decades further and further from the public. Arguably, much of what happens behind the scenes at museums has little bearing on the visitor experience and vice versa.
