Sometimes I have this nightmare. I am in a world where certain people (museologistst have taken to themselves the right and power to identify and attribute meaning to objects on behalf of society. Also, the people with this power believe that their task is to tell people what they should know rather than to encourage them to think and learn for themselves about their past, present and future. Also, that museology is defined by museologists as what they do within the buildings they control - rather as if psychology were to be only what psychologists do in mental hospitals. Unfortunately, this particular nightmare happens to be some kind of reality as well
