Museum Innovation encourages museums to critically reflect upon current practices
and adopt new approaches to their civic responsibilities. Arguing that museums
have a moral duty to perform, the book shows how social innovation can make
them more equitable, relevant and impactful institutions.
Including contributions from a diverse group of international scholars, practitioners
and researchers, the book investigates the innovative approaches museums
are taking to address contemporary social issues. The volume focuses on the concept
of social innovation and individual chapters address a range of crucial issues,
such as climate change; the COVID-19 pandemic; diversity and inclusion; the
travel ban; and the repatriation of museum collections. Exploring the impact that
organizational structures have on museums’ aspirations to act as agents for social
change, the book also unpacks how museums can establish sustainable relationships
with minority communities. Proposing steps that museums can take to affirm their
relevance as viable community partners, the book breaks down silos and connects
ideas across different areas of museum work.
Museum Innovation explores the role of contemporary museums in society. It is
essential reading for academics, students and practitioners working in the museum
and heritage studies field. The book’s interdisciplinary nature makes it also an
interesting read for those working in business studies, digital humanities, visual
culture, arts administration and political science fields.
