Annual Report B. B.E.S.H. Progress C. 1987 Goals 1. Accreditation application 2. Improved departmental communications 3. Outreach exhibits D. Suggested name change for the Fort Collins Museum PROPOSAL Name Change From: The Fort Collins Museum To: The Fort Collins Municipal Museum and Gallery Benefits: 1. Greatly enhance public visibility and appeal 2. Announces the fact that the Museum contains more than local history. 3. The Museum would be getting on the "art train" that is nationally drawing ever increasing attention (the "history train" seems to have slowed appreciably throughout the Country). 4. Clear identification as a city funded and managed institution. 5. Would enable a wider variety of exhibits in the Museum's Gallery. 6. Would enable the Museum to compete more freely with other arts oriented institutions. 7. Increased Council visibility. The actual changes would not be that great. The Museum would still carry out all of its history —related functions. There would be a slight change in the emphasis of the Gallery.
