What's Next for Museums
Changing patterns of cultural participation, new technologies, a global pandemic, a reckoning over systemic injustice, the accelerating climate crisis, and more recently, responses to geopolitical conflicts are creating a moment of accelerated change and opportunity for art museums.
Drawing on insights from his books, "The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues" and "Imagining the Future Museum: 21 Dialogues with Architects," the New York-based museum strategist András Szántó, PhD surveys how visual-arts institutions are working to assert their relevance in the 21st century through new approaches to exhibitions, programming, audience engagement, organizational innovation, and architecture and design, in conversation with Michael John Gorman, the Mark R. Epstein (Class of 1963) Director of the MIT Museum.
