New kinds of museum are emerging around the world. How can they maximize their impact?
Changing patterns of cultural participation, new technologies, a global pandemic, a reckoning over systemic injustice, the accelerating climate crisis, and more recently, responses to geopolitical conflicts are creating a moment of accelerated change and opportunity for art museums.
Drawing on insights from his books, "The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues" and "Imagining the Future Museum: 21 Dialogues with Architects," the New York-based museum strategist András Szántó, PhD, surveys how visual-arts institutions are working to assert their relevance in the 21st century through new approaches to exhibitions, programming, audience engagement, organizational innovation, and architecture and design.
