"Museums are, by definition, bastions of tradition and connoisseurship. If only all the directors and government apparatchiks responsible for them acknowledged this simple truth, museums would not be in the trouble they are in today. Unfortunately, these noble institutions have fallen victim to the cant of the age: on the one hand the market-driven utilitarianism of the right which has forced them to justify their existence in crude economic terms; on the other, the guilt-ridden orthodoxies of the cultural left."
James Delingpole in The Times (London) offers an answer.
