dc.description.abstract	The intention of this capstone project is to explore and understand the changing relationship between purposively selected art museums in major metropolitan areas and the public those museums serve, as dictated by collections-related policies and practices. While legal and ethical implications of certain collections practices, like deaccessioning, are highly debated, those practices as related to public trust have received significantly less attention. These practices may influence public perception of a museum’s transparency and accountability. Qualitative information was gathered through capstone courses and historical-comparative research, taking a hermeneutic approach to existing scholarship, policy documents, applicable laws, and professional codes of ethics.	en_US
