What museums can do

Something called The Artnewspaper gives detailed and thoughtful coverage to the reopening of the National Museum of China.  The centrepiece of the re-opening is a huge exhibition on ... the European Enlightenment of the eighteenth century.  The Chinese Bourbons are busy throwing their own artists in jail right now, but maybe the museumgoing public will find another message in the museum.
