Our Director, Richard Winefield, was asked recently to testify before a government panel investigating options for funding American museums. He favors a competitive system of petitioning for funds, rather than an entitlement approach of alloted funds via government being distributed to organizations.  Read his statement here.

What is your take? Tell us your perspectives if you wish to share them...

As Executive Director I have high hopes for being able to use our blog to get closer to our users, visitors & customers...you!

So, I'll start by bringing up one of our biggest "improvement opportunities"- our cafe. It serves good, healthy food, but at times the lines are long, and the cafe-experience may not be as pleasant as it could be.

What do you think of our cafe?

Add a comment to this post. It would be great if you could share your experiences with me, and maybe a suggestion or two for how we might improve it.

Thanks everyone!
