The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Media and Communication is out!

NEW BOOK. Museums today find themselves within a mediatised society, where everyday life is conducted in a data-full and technology-rich context. In fact, museums are themselves mediatised: they present a uniquely media-centred environment, in which communicative media is a constitutive property of their organisation and of the visitor experience. The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Media and Communication explores what it means to take mediated communication as a key concept for museum studies and as a sensitising lens for media-related museum practice on the ground.

Experimental Museology

OPEN CALL. We are delighted to invite you to contribute to a proposal for a chapter for an edited volume Experimental Museology: Institutions, Representations, Users that we are finalising for submission to Routledge. Based in part on our own practice-based research into museological and curatorial practices in art galleries, science centres and cultural-history museums, we propose a new experimental framework for developing museum practice.
