我们的博物馆迫切需要心理治疗。有大量证据表明，一些主要机构存在认同危机，而另一些机构则处于精神分裂症的晚期状态。当然，这些是相对较新的博物馆疾病，我们仍然不得不生活在更传统的抱怨中--一方面是浮夸的妄想，另一方面是精神错乱--但用最简单的话说，目前的危机是，我们的博物馆和美术馆似乎不知道自己是谁或什么。我们的机构无法解决他们的角色定义问题。
Our museums are in desperate need of psychotherapy. There is abundant evidence of an identity crisis in some of the major institutions, while others are in an advanced state of schizophrenia. These, of course, are relatively new museum ailments, and we still have to Iive with the more traditional complaints-delusions of grandeur on the one hand and psychotic withdrawal on the other-but the crisis at the moment, put in the simplest possible terms, is that our museums and art galleries seem not to know who or what they are. Our institutions are unable to resolve their problems of role definition.
