Hort der Vergangenheit oder moderner Publikumsmagnet? Das Handbuch stellt die Gedächtnisinstitution Museum in der Theorie und in ihrem Selbstverständnis vor und geht auf die Aufgaben ein: Sammeln, Dokumentieren, Konservieren, Erforschen, Ausstellen und Vermitteln. Nach einem historischen Überblick greift der Band die gegenwärtige Praxis und die Diskurse der verschiedenen Museumstypen auf. Dabei wird das Museumswesen aus wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive dargestellt - von Qualitätsmanagement bis zu Museen als Werbemedien, von Publikumsstrukturen bis zu Museen als öffentliche Bauaufgabe.

"This interdisciplinary book argues that museums can offer a powerful, and often overlooked, arena for both exploring and acting upon the interrelated issues of immigration and social justice. Based on three in-depth European case studies, spanning France, Denmark, and the UK, the research examines programs developed by leading museums to address cultural, economic, social and political inequalities. Where previous studies on museums and immigration have focused primarily on issues of cultural inequalities in collection and interpretation, Museums, Immigrants, and Social Justice adopts a more comprehensive focus that extends beyond the exhibition hall to examine the full range of programs developed by museums to address the of cultural, economic, social and political inequalities facing immigrants.Museums, Immigrants, and Social Justice offers compelling insights on the ability of museums to offer positive contributions to the issues surrounding immigration and social justice at a time when both are pressing issues in Europe. It will be of interest to scholars and students of museum studies, migration studies, sociology, human geography and politics."--Provided by publisher.

Nachhaltigkeit muss zum zentralen Bezugspunkt in der Museumspraxis werden - programmatisch, ökologisch und gesellschaftlich. In 17 illustrierten Kapiteln zeigt Christopher Garthe, wie das geht, und liefert den Bezugsrahmen für eine umfassende Beschäftigung mit Nachhaltigkeit in Museen und Ausstellungen. Dazu vereint er die Darstellung konkreter Instrumente mit Eigenschaften eines Nachschlagewerks und übersetzt die vom ICOM initiierte Diskussion um die Zukunft des Museums in das erste vollständige Kompendium zum nachhaltigen Museum. Vom Facility-Management bis zur Kunstvermittlung, von nachhaltiger Konservierung bis zur Citizen Science - das Museum der Zukunft muss sich neu erfinden.
