This book explores how museums, galleries and heritage sites of all
kinds, through the narratives they construct and publicly present,
can shape the moral and political climate within which human rights
are experienced. Through a series of richly-drawn cases, which
focus on gender diversity and same-sex love and desire, Richard
Sandell examines the ways in which museums are implicated in the
ongoing struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and
intersex human rights. Museums, Moralities and Human Rights brings
together for the first time the perspectives not only of those who
work in, govern, fund and visit museums but also those of rights
activists and campaigners who, at key moments in their struggle,
have turned their attention to museums to advance their cause.
Offering new insights into how human rights are continually fought
for, realised and refused, this volume makes the case for museums
of all kinds to take up an active, mindful and purposive engagement
with contemporary human rights concerns.
