New Museums: Intentions, Expectations, Challenges by Art Centre Basel This book explores the role of museums in society today and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world. It delves into the development plans and locations for twenty different museums across six continents, shedding light on current trends and technological advances in architecture. Through contributions from leading museum and architecture experts, the book provides insight into the careful thought and decision processes behind new museum projects. With over 250 color illustrations, it offers a unique perspective on the state-of-the-art designs and technologies being used in contemporary museum building. By examining the experiences of museums such as the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, this book offers valuable insights into the future of museums and their role in communities.
