Abstract
Museums explores the boundaries of museums and how exCanal relationships are affected by internal commitments, structures and
ditions. Focussing on museums' relationship with heath, inclusion, and ommunity, the book provides a detailed assessment of the alliances be
een museums and other stakeholders in recent years.
With contributions from practitioners and established and early-career academics, this volume explores the ideas and practices through which museums are seeking to move beyond what might be called one-off contributions to society, to reach places where the museum is dynamic and facilitates self-generation and renewal, where it can become not just a provider of a cultural service, but an active participant in the rehabilitation of social trust and democratic participation. The contributors to this volume provide conceptual critiques and clarification of a number of key ideas which form the basis of the ethics of museum legitimacy, as well as a number of reports from the front line about the experience of trying to renew museums as more valuable and more relevant institutions.
