I’ve been passed a link to a public consultation on how to define and manage a newly-approved museum in Canada:
The creation of a new national museum, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, is an opportunity to tell the story of the evolution of human rights in Canada and elsewhere. This story is a complex story to tell because human rights resonate differently with individual Canadians. A web-based public consultation will provide the opportunity to receive the views of a large number of Canadians and advice on the possible content and programming of this new institution.
There is a link there to a brief survey wherein you can have your say as to what you think about this new museum, what it should focus on, and how it should measure its success. It’s worthwhile and only takes 5-10 minutes if you give the questions a little thought.
Highly recommended! I think the museum represents an interesting opportunity for discussion and reflection (though I didn’t put reflection as my top priority for a museum – take the survey and you’ll see what I mean).
