Art in Science Museums brings together perspectives from different
practitioners to reflect on the status and meaning of art
programmes in science centres and museums around the world.
Presenting a balanced mix of theoretical perspectives,
practitioners' reflections, and case-studies, this volume gives
voice to a wide range of professionals, from traditional science
centres and museums, and from institutions born with the very aim
of merging art and science practices. Considering the role of art
in the field of science engagement, the book questions whether the
arts might help curators to convey complex messages, foster a more
open and personal approach to scientific issues, become tools of
inclusion, and allow for the production of totally new cultural
products. The book also includes a rich collection of projects from
all over the world, synthetically presenting cases that reveal very
different approaches to the inclusion of art in science programmes.
Art in Science Museums should be of great interest to academics,
researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of
museum studies, cultural heritage management, material culture,
science communication and contemporary art. It should also be
essential reading for museum professionals looking to promote more
reflective social science engagement in their institutions.
