Museums explores the boundaries of museums and how exCanal relationships are affected by internal commitments, structures and ditions. Focussing on museums' relationship with heath, inclusion, and ommunity, the book provides a detailed assessment of the alliances be een museums and other stakeholders in recent years. With contributions from practitioners and established and early-career academics, this volume explores the ideas and practices through which museums are seeking to move beyond what might be called one-off contributions to society, to reach places where the museum is dynamic and facilitates self-generation and renewal, where it can become not just a provider of a cultural service, but an active participant in the rehabilitation of social trust and democratic participation. The contributors to this volume provide conceptual critiques and clarification of a number of key ideas which form the basis of the ethics of museum legitimacy, as well as a number of reports from the front line about the experience of trying to renew museums as more valuable and more relevant institutions.
