All of the good and exciting work that I got to learn about at MW17 spoke more broadly to the idea that museums can really thrive if they embrace change and perhaps take on some bold new ideas. As hard as that can be for organizations of any type, museums and other cultural institutions are competing for the precious free time of their potential visitors, and they have a responsibility to bring as many voices to the table as possible in order to stand out among a noisy crowd of alternatives.
