Samenvatting
Using detailed case studies of current initiatives, the author looks at how far museums in the UK now go beyond the display and interpretation of collections; their potential role of local regeneration; and whether they can create a space where social issues can be examined in a way the public finds accessible. Some of the key points in this publication: Museums are playing a part in social change, tackling a range of social issues, such as crime prevention; If museums and galleries fulfil their new role as being a major supporter of the local economy, both tourist and citizen should benefit; Museums are seen as central spaces of mutual understanding and cohesion where cultural identity can be developed.
