Musingplaces in the 21st Century are hopefully quite different places to the 16th Century Kunstkammers and Wunderkammers that their foundations are rooted within. Just about everything except human curiosity has changed yet public musingplaces in particular somehow seek to cling to a status quo established a rather long time ago.
These places are commonly understood as 'museums and/or galleries' but in reality they are more diverse than that would suggest. It also seems that such places are more than important to communities and their ability to sustain the fundamentals of humanity. More on this can be accessed by clicking here
Just about every aspect of musingplace governance, management, funding, sponsorship etc should now be on the table for discussion. It is well outside the scope of this set of 'musings on musingplaces' to deeply interrogate the subject. Nonetheless, it is clear that so much has changed, and is changing, that to ignore all this would be assuming that all is well in this sector of endeavour.
Anyway, everything is not all that it could be, or might be, even if there is a lot of 'good stuff' going on.
