Luigi Ferrara: is a traditional museum model a good one for city museums? #tomuseum

Because no city museum yet exists, there is an opportunity to build one that doesn't have to repair colonial legacies, but can build in a way that reflects the vibrancy of our city, offers @KCintoronto @myseumTO #tomuseum

How do we transfer ownership - spiritual and/or physical - to communities? Asks @ROMtoronto Mark Engstrom. How do we ensure communities feel that the ROM is their museum?
