The Museum in the City.
Lilla, Mark
Journal of Aesthetic Education, v19 n2 p79-91 Sum 1985
Growth in audiences and collections cannot mask the directionless drift of the American museum as it is buffeted by the moods and fashions of the moment in art, politics, and entertainment. The museum's current problems are examined. Museums must recover a historical sense of their social role in America. (RM)
