Description

Are museums becoming irrelevant in the modern age? Museums in a Troubled World: Renewal, Irrelevance or Collapse? examines the role of museums as social institutions during a time of global crisis. This Routledge publication addresses why museums are rarely included in global discussions regarding climate change, environmental degradation, and the depletion of fossil fuels. The book explores the tension between the social responsibility of museums and their growing focus on the marketplace. It examines how museums may be unintentionally adopting the values of relentless consumption that contribute to current planetary difficulties. By questioning the current direction of these institutions, this work provides a necessary look at whether museums will face renewal or collapse in the face of changing community needs and environmental realities.
