Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? But for museum and art wonks, it could be. This is particularly true when it comes to project evaluation.

I can understand why somebody interested in museums wouldn't want to cover ground on health sector management.

It isn’t unlike what a museum curator does to produce an exhibition: They identify the theme, they provide the context, they decide which paintings to hang on the wall, how they should be annotated, and how they should be displayed for the public.
