The white paper by critic Michael F. Brenson, examines the multiple facets of the university museum, placing the discussions that emerged from these proceedings in a wider context. His critique, together with the questions he proposes for future consideration, allows us to consider how we may develop subsequent discussions more effectively and create a viable action plan to continue the work begun in Miami.
The Wolfsonian–FIU is grateful to the Henry Luce Foundation for commissioning this paper.
