This is a really poignant hole missing in these pieces, and I also see a lot of parallels between this post and @cheider's post about the 1892 art exhibit that dared to make itself accessible to those outside of the upper class.

We say we're in the field of public history but in a way we haven't moved further beyond the time when museums were largely private exhibitions meant for an exclusive few. We can talk a big game and make moves like decreasing admission or engaging in outreach but museums can't become truly accessible until this mindset changes and we prioritize our audience.
