  • Antwerp's Royal Museum of Fine Arts

    Open AccessZahava D DoeringARTICLECurator The Museum Journal2025

    The Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, reopened after an 11‐year renovation. In addition to completely cleaning the exterior façade of the neoclassical building, a new, modern wing was built inside former internal courtyards—a glossy, white cube with very high ceilings and a dramatic 100+ step flight of stairs. The historical part of the museum was also fully renovated to its original grandeur. The collection was reinstalled, and the …

  • Save the Ukrainian People First

    Open AccessLaura‐Edythe S Coleman, John Fraser et al.ARTICLECurator The Museum Journal2022

    As editors of an international journal of museum practice and culture, we condemn the actions of Russia, the Russian army, and all individuals in that country who are aware of the war but refuse to thwart the terrorist attacks on the Ukrainian people and their culture.

We know that the pandemic disproportionately afflicts communities of Black, Indigenous, and People …

    This author believes that museums risk societal irrelevance, unless they effect profound changes in response to calls for inclusiveness and equity on the part of Blacks, Latinx, and other disenfranchised groups. She makes specific suggestions in multiple areas: Museums should pledge to fill positions with people of color and from other marginalized minorities. Hiring should privilege societal accomplishments and life experience over age, gender, …

  • Auschwitz. Not Long Ago. Not Far Away

    Open AccessZahava D DoeringARTICLECurator The Museum Journal2020

    This reviewer’s essay represents an odyssey, from question to print, that started in December 2019 with a visit to the exhibition, Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away . It was inspired by a view of New York's Statue of Liberty, seen through the rustling of tall trees, planted in 2003 by Holocaust survivors on New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage’s terrace. As she looked out – and for many days since – she’s worked to understand the “why” of thi…
