The Role of Museums in a Community Crisis?

When I worked at the New Jersey Historical Society we - as well as the Newark Museum - held some programs related to the aftermath of 9/11.  The Newark Museum also transformed a space into an indoor garden as a place for reflection, etc.  I believe there were also places in the NYC area that did the same, especially those not near Ground Zero.

 

You might also check out the International Coalition of Museums of Conscience, they may have other examples.
