Every generation faces the pressures and crises of their day, and the Surrealists cleverly encoded their anxiety and fears in the monsters and myths of antiquity. Our joint project with the Baltimore Museum of Art, Monsters and Myths (opened October 20) is a major new contribution to the public appreciation of Surrealism. This exhibition prompted a revision of one of our most visible spaces, Avery Court, which hadn’t significantly changed in more than 20 years.

4 The Changing Role of the Public Art Museum

Important conversations are happening among professionals We often forget that the public art museum is still a relatively young phenomenon. in museums around the world. This year, the United States It was only in the later eighteenth century that the idea of a place for all people to interact with art came into being with the establishment of the National Gallery in National Committee of the International Council of Museums London, and that it would take another century before entities such as the Wadsworth (ICOM-US), led by chairs Lonnie G. Bunch III and Tom Loughman, Atheneum and the Cincinnati Art Museum—two of the earliest public galleries in convened a working group to interview a cross section of museum the United States still in operation—would be launched. The early missions of the American galleries were to provide broad access to the fine arts. The art museum was professionals in group settings. They discussed four questions as a function of the idealism present in these most affluent cities in our growing nation, did museum leaders in over 82 other countries, as follows: an idealism for creating a civic life that would rival their European counterparts in terms of cultural sophistication and an earnest aspiration to welcome all. A devotion to poetry, architecture, literature, and music was natural for the early civic leaders, 1 What do you think are the strongest 3 What do you think are the strongest but it was the art museum that stood out as a more permanent institution, with needs trends and the most serious trends and the most serious particular to the display of paintings and sculpture. challenges faced in your country in challenges faced by museums in the coming decade? your country in the coming decade?

It is only in the past fifty years that this has become and enrich our contributions? an essential role for museums. In 1961, in a special summer edition of Art in America devoted to the question, “What Should a Museum Be?” Wadsworth Director Charles Cunningham oriented his answer to the matter of public-facing education teams: Elegantly simple, these questions elicited thoughtful and passionate responses. In would art museums be able to expand their staff capabilities, and the budgets to the United States, three groups held conversations in April and May of 2018. They support them, in the service of providing school children with meaningful interactions reveal a remarkable dedication to the museum as a place of engagement for all and with the fine arts? The very idea of student engagement was only a fledgling hope for a sensitivity to our unique role as perpetual stewards of a forward-looking, public the future-minded leadership of the field, beautifully realized and synonymous with the conversation about culture. art museum today.
