Sure, let's forget about the past so we can repeat it's mistakes. |

Of course it does. It's a matter of how it's curated. I didn't read through all 225 pages yet to see all that was said but I think this is what the series off papers is doing. Museums help us explore the past and expose us to other cultures and technologies that we wouldn't otherwise be able to view or understand. |

That quote is from the Military Museum in Vienna, which is one of the best military museums I have ever visited |

I wish!
I wish war was consigned to history.
I wish museums did more on the history of war*.

Or we could abolish War, and just let teenage girls play it without a chance of getting hurt. |

The best museums are war museums |

If only war could be kept in museums. And wargaming clubs, of course. |

Stupid question, of course it does.
I have been on the academic side side of educational writing. A professor has to have a list of subject titles for potential masters and doctoral students to chose from. These are a must demanded by the department chair for each professor to maintain. Many are guided by the publishing house at the university. Others depend on the expertise of the professor. Often conclusions are predetermined before research begins. Especially if money is involved. Dirty business with few reliable good out of any of them. |

I can imagine the comments from the button counters about the inaccuracies of the battlefield dioramas on display… ;-) |
