  • L’avenir du musée est social

    Open AccessGlenn Black, Graham Black et al.ARTICLECulture & Musées2023

    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…

  • Museums and the Challenge of Change

    Graham BlackEDITORBOOKMuseums and the Challenge of Change2020

    " 'Museums and the Challenge of Change' explores the profound challenges facing museums and charts ways forward that are grounded in partnership with audiences and communities on-site, online and in wider society.

    Glenn Black, Graham BlackARTICLEMuseum Management and Curatorship2016Cited by: 4References: 9

    This paper uses the U.K. as a case study to explore the urgent need to develop strategies for the retention of the audiences who are core to almost all types of museums – the well-educated professionals and their families and friends, with no specialist interest in museum collections, who represent around 70% of museum attendees. It is a ‘provocation’ in four parts: the failure of museums to attract enough of this audience; an out-of-date display…

  • Transforming Museums in the Twenty-first Century

    Glenn Black, Graham BlackBOOKTransforming museums in the 21st…2012

    In his book, Graham Black argues that museums must transform themselves if they are to remain relevant to 21st century audiences – and this root and branch change would be necessary whether or not museums faced a funding crisis. 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…

  • Embedding civil engagement in museums

    Glenn Black, Graham BlackARTICLEMuseum Management and Curatorship2010Cited by: 7References: 15

    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…
