对于许多博物馆来说，他们的公众参与工作的现实往往与修辞不符，即使工作的灵感来自真正的民主冲动。博物馆专业人士表达了被“卡住”的感觉，而他们的社区合作伙伴则表达了沮丧和不满。根据作者2010年由保罗·哈姆林基金会赞助的对英国12家博物馆的公众参与的研究，结果表明，参与在博物馆中既可以嵌入又有效的唯一方法是通过不断的反思实践循环。随着博物馆作为公民社会核心的“参与性领域机构”，社区合作伙伴不再被视为被动的“受益者”，博物馆成为一个充满活力的公共空间。因此，根据Amartya Sen关于解决“能力失败”的呼吁，博物馆在实现其机构能力的同时，可以积极支持其他人实现他们的能力。
Abstract For many museums, the reality of their public engagement work frequently fails to match the rhetoric, even when the work is inspired by a genuinely democratic impulse. Museum professionals express the feeling of being ‘stuck’, while their community partners convey frustration and dissatisfaction. Based on the author's 2010 Paul Hamlyn Foundation-sponsored study of public engagement in 12 museums across the UK, the results demonstrate that the only way engagement can both be embedded and effective in museums is through a constant cycle of reflective practice. With the museum as ‘participatory sphere institution’ at the heart of civil society, community partners are no longer seen as passive ‘beneficiaries’ and the museum becomes a vibrant public sphere of contestation. Thus, in line with Amartya Sen's call to address ‘capability failure’, museums, while realising their institutional capabilities, may actively support others realising theirs.
