Future of Museums: Long Term Care
“This should be the moment for museums and yet encyclopedic and universal museums are I believe in the midst of an existential crisis. Really a crisis that reflects our inability to fully acknowledge and interrogate the impact and complexities of Empire on the one hand, accompanied by a failure to engage wholeheartedly and transparently with the things that people really care about on the other”
