Routledge Museum Innovation: Building Equitable, Relevant Museums

Museum Innovation encourages institutions to critically reflect on current practices and adopt new approaches to their civic responsibilities. This Routledge publication argues that museums have a moral duty to perform and demonstrates how social innovation can transform them into more equitable, relevant and impactful organisations. The book brings together contributions from a diverse group of international scholars, practitioners and researchers who investigate the innovative approaches museums are taking to address contemporary social issues. It focuses on the concept of social innovation and examines individual strategies museums employ to engage communities, serve public good, and remain culturally significant in rapidly changing societies. Ideal for museum professionals, students of arts and cultural studies, and anyone interested in how cultural institutions can evolve to better serve their audiences and communities.
