This session will discuss the current challenges in cultural institutions on the occasion of the launch of the new "Manual of Museum Management".
The Manual of Museum Management is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the tools and strategies to successfully address today’s issues and opportunities, including climate change and social justice, repatriation, teamwork, technological innovations, community connections and building on the huge reservoir of public trust in museums.
During the session the lead author, Gail Lord, will discuss the innovation and resilience of the museum sector today working toward multiple perspectives in learning, content and exhibitions and a noncolonial philosophy of management, creating a more human museum experience of caring empathy and equity for staff and visitors.
A panel of experts will reflect on the current issues of institutions as art museums, natural history museums and the cultural sector as we whole.
