Description
The Museum of the Future Now What? In this latest volume from Cristina Bechtler and Dora Imhof, leading art and museum figures from around the world share their perspectives on the role of museums in the 21st century. With contributions from 28 experts, including artists, architects, curators, and museum directors, this collection offers a diverse range of views on how to rethink and reassess the place of museums today. The contributors tackle pressing questions such as the need for a new art historical canon, how to make museums welcoming places for everyone, and how to deal with problematic artworks. They also discuss the relationships between local and global perspectives, museum governance and financial organization, technological possibilities, and audience-related challenges. This valuable handbook provides a snapshot of today's thinking about the museum and its ever-evolving landscape. By bringing together fresh ideas and diverse voices, this book offers a unique insight into the future of museums and their role in society.
