Main | Antiquities are Popular! »

Introduction

This space has been created in preparation for circulating a survey for research for my Master of Arts thesis for the Program in Museum Studies at NYU.

This blog will act as a primary hub for discussion about cultural heritage issues and antiquities housed in Unites States Art Museums.

I am interested in finding out what people know about this subject and where they received this information. My survey, "Informing Audiences: Public Perceptions of Illicit Antiquities in Art Museums" will be available June through July 2009. I will be analyzing the results in August and will publish a general, narrative report on this blog at a later date.

Please take the time to help a graduate student learn about what YOU think!

Tom King:
What kind of results do you think you're going to get from a survey of people who subscribe to sites frequented mostly by specialists in fields like archaeology? If you're going to survey museum visitors, that's who you ought to survey, not people who have vested interests in the way museums are run.
