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. Facing new generations with growing needs and
desires, growing population diversity, and a digital revolution,
the museum sector knows it must change - but it has been slow to
respond. Drawing on the expertise and voices of practitioners from
within and beyond the sector, Black calls for a change of mind-set
and radical evolution (transformation over time, learning from the
process, rather than a 'big bang' approach). Internally, a
participative environment supports social interaction through
active engagement with collections and content - and Black includes
an initial typology of participative exhibits, both traditional and
digital. Externally, the museum works in partnership with local
communities and other agencies to make a real difference, in
response to societal challenges. Black considers what this means
for the management and structure of the museum, emphasising that it
is not possible to separate the development of a participative
experience from the ways in which the museum is organised. Museums
and the Challenge of Change is highly practical and focused on
initiatives that museums can implement swiftly and cheaply, making
a real impact on user engagement. The book will thus be essential
reading for museum practitioners and students of museum studies
around the globe.
