Universities and museums: past, present and future 1 This paper is based on the opening contribution to a series of public lectures on universities and museums at the University of Alicante, Spain in 1997 and 1999, linked to the building of a major new university art museum on the University's campus (I y II Journados de Museos, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, 1999). The brief for the 7 November 1997 inaugural lecture in the first series was to explore the overall relationship between universities and their museums, in the past, today, and in the future, in contrast with that of subsequent speakers in the two series who have been mostly invited to discuss their own university museums. 1
