Traditionally, museums have been established on the basis of
collections. However, some of today's most challenging and dynamic
museums are those founded on the basis of ideas. Their themes may
span human rights, social inclusion, peace, war, health, gender,
climate change... Their size, budget, scope and ambitions may
differ, but they are all driven and committed in a way which tends
to set them apart. Museums of Ideas: Commitment and Conflict
provides - for the first time - an insight into the operation of
these committed, often pioneering, sometimes challenging,
institutions, and highlights what can be learned from their
experiences - and applied to benefit the broader museum community
and its users. Museums of Ideas is written by leading museum
specialists and focuses on pioneering and innovative institutions
in many different countries, including Afghanistan, Australia,
Canada, Chile, Croatia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway,
Sweden, UK, and USA.
