There are quite a few museum professionals coming to the Summit.  We have
been talking both through e-mail and in person. We would like to ask what
role museums, museum educators, and our hundreds of millions of artistic,
historical and scientific objects can play in this new world.  Should our
resources receive a priority similar to the resources of libraries?  How
would teachers use our educational programming in the classroom?
