Beskrivning
Museums are under fire currently from all quarters on account of a wide range of ethical issues, from their association with morally dubious regimes to the questionable provenance of objects in their collections and the perceived lack of inclusivity of their exhibitions. This book examines why the art museum has become a focus for society’s ethical concerns in the 21st century, whether it is ever possible for a museum to be a neutral space, and what a policy framework for a more ethical museum could look like.Gareth Harris's compelling and balanced analysis draws on interviews with museum leaders and a wide range of visual-arts professionals in the UK, Europe and the US.  It considers examples of best practice in a sector which is struggling to balance increased ethical demands with an often perilous financial situation in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Recensioner i media

'Harris does not shy away from the rapidly changing and often difficult ethical questions facing contemporary museums in the Western world. These topics are sometimes particularly challenging in the current political climate, where some museums have had to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives for fear of losing much-needed federal funding. [...] Harris discusses how reconsidered ethical principles can meet the needs of the 21st-century museum, including greater sensitivity to both the museum audience and the social and geopolitical subjects that reflect the community's needs.' – E. M. Hansen, ALA CHOICE
