My friend Patrick Boylan, who has died aged 84, was a director of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, and later head of arts policy and management at City, University of London, helping to train a new generation of museum and other heritage professionals.
One of Patrick’s professional preoccupations was a wish to make sure that cultural artefacts and heritage were not lost as a result of upheaval, including war. Any such loss he described as “a loss for the whole of humanity”.
