Educational programs should give full attention to the teaching of teachers as well as of students. Museums should explore more effective alternatives to random group tours and canned electronic talks. There should be closer cooperation between curators and educators on the museum staff. They should be equals in pay and status. Recruitment and training for museum professionals should be opened to a wider selection of persons in keeping with equal opportunity intentions.
Television is the central new visual experience in our society.
Time and expertise should be made available by networks for use by museums. There should be fewer extravagant loan exhibitions consuming major parts of limited exhibition budgets and more exhibitions drawn from the museum's own collections. There should be more long-term loans from museums with large holdings of excellent but redundant material to those institutions without such works. Museums should enlarge their activities in fundamental research and scholarship with a view of producing more and better catalogs, particularly of permanent collections. More and better popular literature is also desirable.
