The Fall 2024 issue of Exhibition journal is now out. “Active Disruption” explores the many ways museum exhibitions are disrupting the status quo and harnessing change as a positive force. Rather than fearing change and waiting to react, authors share how proactively pursuing change within exhibitions has transformed everything from the content on display and the processes they follow to the way they connect with communities and make space for multiple forms of engagement. Exhibition is a journal of exhibition theory and practice for museum professionals published by the American Alliance of Museums.

The Spanish-speaking population in Chicago is roughly 29%, but museums have rarely represented these communities. We spoke to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago team about their work to make the their institution "fully bilingual".

I couldn't agree more with the points shared by Antonio and Manuel on his article linked by Ji. Richardson. Simply translating exhibit texts isn’t enough to create true inclusivity. As Antonio mentioned, genuine accessibility requires ongoing dialogue with the community, not just checking a box. Museums thrive when they collaborate with their communities beyond their physical walls, creating meaningful connections that lead to greater support and impact. This approach feels essential for the future of museums. What are your thoughts on how cultural institutions can engage more deeply with their audiences? #MuseumAccessibility #CommunityEngagement #InclusivityInMuseums #CulturalDialogue #MuseumInnovation

It was a real pleasure to share our work at the MuseumNext Digital Exhibitions Summit this week on the future of digitisation, access and preserving collections! Read the article here: "The work at The Amelia Scott demonstrates how museums can combine preservation, innovation, and audience engagement in powerful new ways. From 3D scanning and printing to mixed reality experiences, the collections team is not only future-proofing their objects but also redefining what a museum can be."

Digitization of museum collection.....#Diggitization.... Most orgazitions like museums are now migrating from paper heritage and historical value records to digital records......challenges and opportunities....

🖼️ | Museums hold the past and tell the story of the present. But how do we establish their form in the future, and to a greater extent, how do we ensure public interest and access to historical artefacts remains engaging? Want to know more? 👇 https://lnkd.in/eRKPjqZ4 #museums

NEMO - Network of European Museum Organisations barometer on political influence in European museums just published! "The data presented in this barometer highlights the challenging circumstances faced by the European museum sector amidst increasing societal polarisation. This development is frequently leading to intense, and sometimes uncontrollable, pressure on museum operations. The responses confirm the concern of the museum community that growing political influence on museums can significantly weaken the functioning and reputation of European museums as reliable institutions, jeopardising their capacity to work impartially and maintain their independence." 👉 https://shorturl.at/i71hd #museums #european #armslengthprinciple

Question for the #museum hivemind. Can you provide any examples of fantastic large scale audio-visual experiences in museum exhibitions? Am thinking of examples that are both visually stunning and thought-provoking / informative. I know there are lots of immersive art experiences at the moment but I am looking for examples of (good) large scale AV exhibits used as part of museum exhibitions. As an example, here's one I loved. It was the concluding exhibit in The Sun: living with our star at the Science Museum. It was a huge scale projection of footage showing the surface of the sun at different wavelengths. #exhibition #visitorexperience #exhibitiondesign #museums
