BBC Sounds - Rethink, Rethink... museums
What are museums for?
Good to see BBC R4 talking about museums. tinyurl.com/yu66ewvf But I do get irritated by the assumption that controversies over museum are new. Museums have always been controversial. That's their job.

I guess all we can do is think about how we as individuals can act to make the world a better place. How we can be candles in the darkness.
