Whether X and Y doesn't marks the parallelism as Neither X and Y Does?
whether it can broaden its membership and leave Here broaden and leave is parallel But don't we need "It can ... " in the sentence structure after and. I know sentence will sound funny but i want know
Thanks

That's right, "whether . . . and" is not a pair of parallelism markers. If I say "I want to know whether . . . ," all that must follow is something I'd like to know about. Did it/will it happen or not? I don't need to have 2 different things. In the example you're looking at, the thing we want to know is whether that entire clause can happen: Can the museum do these things? We could just as easily have one verb ("whether it can broaden its membership") or several ("whether it can X, Y, or Z").
