For those who've seen it or even managed to find it, the western civilization hall at the Smithsonian is pretty lame. The past curator, a Dr. Van Beek, was well known for excavating parts of pre-bronze age Israel, if I understand the research. However, he has just retired, and they don't have a replacement in mind. Seems to me that now is the time to influence the Smithsonian so that they place a greater emphasis on ancient egypt, Greece and Rome, bronze age, etc.
While this may mainly apply to US members, maybe influence from abroad will carry weight as well. I'll do some research on who's who in the Smithsonian and how to carry the message to the Museum director & Smithsonian.
