Museums and Ideas

Museums are complex institutions that play an increasingly crucial and multilayered role in the cultural, political, economic and diplomatic life of and between societies worldwide. While there exists a vast body of technical literature in the field of museology, and the history of museums is rich in monographic and highly specialized studies, this series aims at exploring the ideas and the issues raised by art museums and confronting them, in the past and in the present. The series is open to inquiries into all periods and geographical areas, and especially welcomes proposals and manuscripts that explore new methodologies and formats to illuminate its object.
