I think there may be some misunderstanding here. What I am going to school for is museum studies. What I choose to base my museum on is entirely up to me. The fact is, there are all kinds of museums big and small. There is even a gopher hole museum somewhere in Canada. The teachers of this program don't really care what the subject of your imaginary museum is all we have to do is apply the principles to our choice of museum. Museums can be government run, public institutions or a one man operation about someones quirky obsession. Just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean that it cant be done. Obviously a museum about Polynesian pop culture would be a privately operated museum with sponsorship from organizations and businesses with the same interests, visited by people who are interested in it. Again I am not trying to go to school for poly pop. I'm in the museum studies program. This gives me the knowledge to work in any kind of museum or to create a new museum.
