L’avenir du musée est social
Dans cet article, j’applique le regard d’un praticien à l’affirmation selon laquelle l’avenir des musées réside dans l’activisme social, dans le travail en partenariat d’égal à égal avec les communautés, pour relever les défis auxquels la société moderne est confrontée, « pour apporter délibérément des changements au-delà des murs de l’institution » (Janes & Sandell, 2019 : xxvii). La théorie qui sous-tend cette transformation des rôles et des pr…
Meeting the audience challenge in the ‘Age of Participation
This paper explores the nature of a ‘participatory museum experience’ targeted at twenty-first century core audiences. It highlights the holistic nature of the museum visit; emphasises the importance of matching lifestyle expectations; argues for the central role of social interaction; prioritises the process of learning over outcomes; and both defines participatory exhibits and provides a preliminary typology. It concludes with a brief discussio…

It is the result of the impact of new technologies and the rapid societal developments that we are all a part of, and applies not just to museums but to all arts bodies and to other agents of mass communication. Through c…

Initiatives over the last decade on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond have sought to re-position museums at the heart of their communities as agents for civil engagement. This paper explores the principles involved in making the role possible, using the example of urban history museums. It argues that this will take time, commitment and careful planning, and will impact on every aspect of the museum's activities. It is an essential task, howe…
