This lecture by Dr Melissa Chiu addresses museum challenges in the twenty-first century. What are the key factors that could transform how we operate as museums?
These could include evolving population and community demographics, the perception of a museum’s role within society, the recasting of art history or even the burgeoning and global marketplace for art.
