Description

Museums in a Troubled World challenges the assumption that museums exist outside pressing global concerns. This Routledge publication examines how museums are rarely acknowledged in discussions of climate change, environmental degradation, and fossil fuel depletion, yet simultaneously embrace the consumption values that drive planetary challenges. The book explores the tension between museums as cultural institutions and their role in contemporary society, questioning whether museums face renewal, irrelevance, or collapse. Part of the Museum Meanings series, it argues that museums can and should engage more meaningfully with urgent social and environmental issues affecting communities worldwide, moving beyond marketplace-driven approaches to reclaim their relevance as institutions capable of addressing the troubles facing our world today.
