I work for The Ohio State University and receive a daily electronic
   newsletter from the institution called OSU Today.  That communication
   vehicle features very little (i.e., nothing at all) specific to lute.
   However, today's does feature an announcement of a public forum
   discussion to occur at OSU's own art museum, the Wexner Center:


> March 9: 'Do Museums Still Need Objects?' panel discussion

   > Fred Andrle, Humanities Institute associate, will host a panel

   > discussion featuring Steven Conn, OSU professor of history,

   > director of the Public History Initiative, and author of "Do

   > Museums Still Need Objects?" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday (3/9) at

   > the Wexner Center Film and Video Theater. Panelists include

   > David Chesebrough, COSI president and CEO; Sherri Geldin,

   > director, Wexner Center for the Arts; Burt Logan, executive

   > director and CEO, Ohio Historical Society; and Nannette

   > Maciejunes, executive director, Columbus Museum of Art.

   > Free and open to the public. Contact: Elizabeth Lantz at

   > [1]mailto:[email protected]


   Given the recent doings at the V&A, I'm just a little frightened that
   the topic of this discussion is considered viable at all, whichever way
   it turns.  I admit that I have not read Steven Conn's text.


   Pessimistically,

   Eugene
