Discusses the emerging museum trends of the 21st century, using the Steel Plant Museum of Western New York as a short case study to explore how a small museum addresses the paradigm shift.

The blame for this decline has traditionally fallen on failed government intervention, lack of quality local leadership, an overcompensated and under worked union workforce, environmental concerns, natural resource depletion, and oppressive taxes.
