The Long Horizon: The Shared Value of Museums

摘要

Abstract Probably as far back as we humans go, we have been dependent on cultural continuity. Essential parts of culture exist on multiple levels: individual, family, community, region, nation, and so on. It’s the sharing of critical elements across these levels that maintains a working society. The value of a geographical or physical space for culture-keeping lies in those shared values, for which museums provide a living matrix.
