In this episode of The Next Frontier, I'm walking into two of America's most important cultural institutions—The Kennedy Center and the Library of Congress. One was built for performance, the other for preservation. I'm here asking a simple question: What does it take to keep a cultural inheritance alive?

If we want great art to remain part of American life, we can't treat institutions like scenery: useful only when they flatter our side. We have to treat them like what they are—an inheritance, and inheritance requires work, maintenance, humility, and willingness to keep the doors open.

Dr. Kevin Roberts is the President of The Heritage Foundation.
