Looking Reality in the Eye: Museums and Social Responsibility, edited by Robert
R. Janes, and Gerald T. Conaty. Paperback, 196 pages, University
of Calgary Press, April 2005
Robert Janes holds a Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of Calgary and
is the former president and CEO of the Glenbow Museum and chief editor of the
Journal of Museum Management and Curatorship.
According to the publisher, Looking Reality in the Eye provides new directions
for assisting museums in achieving long-term sustainability within their communities,
while at the same time providing a rich source of ideas on how this can be accomplished.
“The articles in this book are outstanding examples of socially responsible
museum work, based on the premise that museums, galleries, and science centres
must move beyond education and entertainment to embrace socially relevant missions.”
