Reinventing the Museum - Relevance, Inclusion, and Global Responsibilities (Hardcover, Third Edition)

Reinventing the Museum: Relevance, Inclusion and Global Responsibilities is the third edition following the 2004 and 2012 versions of the Reinventing series. More than a decade since the prior volume, this edition features all new content written since 2017 germane to this pivotal time for museums and the world. The book illuminates the complex external realities and shifts impacting museums, to spur and initiate relevant transformation in order to help define museum's most impactful role in the ecosystem of their diverse communities at the local, regional and global levels. The urgency for meaningful change is key for museums to emerge as central, more vital contributors in a world that requires new visionary leaders with strategies to make a difference. The anthology features leading thinkers from across the globe each probing a thread or topic that creates a look into the origins, realities and pressures marking this pivotal time for museums. The introduction frames the book, highlights the issues of our times and the structure of the articles compiled and sequential flow of the contents. Setting the stage for the book is an update to the Reinventing the Museum Tool. Five sections feature carefully selected articles that create a flow of topics and greater understanding of the issues of our times. Each section unfolds with a sequence of thinking that leads into the subsequent sections and chapters. From highlights of the realities from a global perspective to shifts in institutional mindset to the urgency to achieve inclusion and equity holistically in museums to fresh perspectives of practical approaches to actualize the reinvented museum - the range of topics unfolds an informed path forward. Whether a student, trustee, or staff member this volume is inspiring, informative, fresh, and a must read for any aspiring or active museum professional.
