Curating Change in the Museum: Introduction to the Volume
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 23
Abstract
Museums are places of conservation but they do not necessarily have to be conservative places. On the contrary, museums are sometimes at the vanguard of cultural innovation, changing the world rather than keeping up with the way the world changes. This thematic issue brings together texts and case-studies of museums challenging the status-quo, opening up instead of closing in, daring instead of being cautious, all the while keeping up the standards of preserving and exhibiting the precious collections in their care.
