Connecting Museums explores the boundaries of museums and how
external relationships are affected by internal commitments,
structures and traditions. Focusing on museums' relationship with
heath, inclusion, and community, the book provides a detailed
assessment of the alliances between museums and other stakeholders
in recent years. With contributions from practitioners and
established and early-career academics, this volume explore the
ideas and practices through which museums are seeking to move
beyond what might be called one-off contributions to society, to
reach places where the museum is dynamic and facilitates
self-generation and renewal, where it can become not just a
provider of a cultural service, but an active participant in the
rehabilitation of social trust and democratic participation. The
contributors to this volume provide conceptual critiques and
clarification of a number of key ideas which form the basis of the
ethics of museum legitimacy, as well as a number of reports from
the front line about the experience of trying to renew museums as
more valuable and more relevant institutions. Providing internal
and external perspectives, Connecting Museums presents a mix of
applied and theoretical understandings of the changing roles of
museums today. As such, the book should be of interest to
academics, researchers and students working in the broad fields of
museum and heritage studies, material culture, and arts and museum
management.
