Yes, I have spoken to some people in the museum sector. They went in because they love art and history and want to present things accurately, but they come under political pressure to distort and deaccession. I recorded a little of that in my books "Artivism" and "Iconoclasm". There are many people out there like you. Thanks for the book tip. I'll try to track down a copy.

I used to work in the museum sector and I'm very depressed by the direction it has taken. Although the MA always did jump on the latest middle-class leftist bandwagon. Curators are custodians turned iconoclast and remind me of Gamelin in The Gods Will Have Blood by Anatole France.
