註釋In most founding charters and mission statements of the major art museums in the United States the art museum's role as educator and communicator to the public is acknowledged as its primary function. Yet, history has shown that while art museums proclaim their commitment to visitors rhetorically, in practice their priorities lean toward collecting scholarship and connoisseurship over the experience of the viewer. Although the educator has been designated as the audience advocate in the museum, the curator has the primary responsibility of communicating the powerful messages of works of art through exhibitions, which are an art museum's primary method of communicative strategies of the art museum. Curators and educators generally think of the public and the artwork differently from each other and therefore seek to communicate to the public in different ways thereby causing a bifurcation in the public expression of each role.
