LEAVING THE MUSEUM, AS WE KNOW IT

SEMINAR ROSKILDE

Leaving the museum, as we know it, addresses the growing attention and expectation of museums to operate beyond their traditionally defining and sacred buildings. When our audience does not come to us, we should reach out and come to them – engaging with new audiences in new ways. The seminar taps into this development but would also like to move beyond the where and how museums operate today, and instead ask even more fundamental questions that also lie at the center of the Nordic network, Museum Why? Where do we find more radical progressions and challenges in terms of the very idea of the museum and its entanglement with and function in society today?
