What People Are Saying
“Museums alone cannot ease the tensions that come from the debates surrounding the fluidity of national identity in the twenty-first century. Nor can any cultural institution solve the problems of poverty, racial injustice, and police violence. But museums can contribute to understanding by creating spaces where debates are spirited but reasoned. Where contemporary challenges are addressed through contextualization and education.”
— Lonnie G. Bunch III
“Museums need to stand firm, with individuals and diverse communities around the world, against prejudice, stereotype and inequality. We are not islands of pure research and conservation, laying out ‘our’ superior knowledge for ‘them’ the passive elite visitors, but dynamic forums for justice in the global contemporary. Gender equality is central to this mandate.”
— Dr. Viv Golding
“A woman's quest in life should be to find the perfect apartment. And I have found the perfect apartment. The perfect apartment is the first floor of the Metropolitan Museum. With a sofa.”
