In the last decade, museums all around the world have been
reinventing themselves. They are now much more than scholarly,
cultural archives. A remit to reach out to a broader public, the
increasing politicisation of the ownership and curation of objects,
the architectural expectations of new buildings, the requirements
of the "event exhibit"all have changed the way any new museum is
built, operates and serves its public purpose. Museums now reflect
global economics and local politics. New museums now shape our
public culture. Illustrated with a very wide range of museums and
museum spaces - from MOMA in New York to the reconstruction of
Ground Zero, from the National Museum of the American Indian in
Washington DC to the Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, from the planned
renewal of the Crystal Palace site in London to the Sendai
Mediatheque in Japan - the book reveals how the new museum is
evolving as a cross-disciplinary, self-consciously political, and
often avowedly self-reflexive institution.
