Towards the Museum
of the Future


Towards the Museum of the Future reviews the major current concerns in
European museums through a series of missioned, authoritative
essays. Written against a background of unprecedented change in museums and
society, the essays explore how museums are variously attempting to maintain their
role in a culturally and politically unstable world.
The essays present a wide range of sometimes contradictory views on museums,
exhibitions and museum education. They embrace case studies, general reviews and
theoretical analyses, and are written from a variety of practical and theoretical
points of view. Areas covered include European museums and the people who visit
them; museums and the media; museums and exhibition design; the educational
significance of museums in formal and informal settings.
This is the first book to approach current problems from such a wide perspective.
Its authors, from seven countries, prehensive coverage ranging not just
geographically across Europe, but over most types of exhibitions and audiences in
science, history and art museums.
