Museums: What's Next?
As the coronavirus was shutting down museums worldwide, Andras Szanto, a writer on cultural strategy and an advisor to museums, foundations, and educational institutions, conducted interviews with 28 directors of international museums. Mr. Szanto will discuss his recently published book, “The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues,” with Corinne Erni, the Parrish Art Museum’s senior curator, tomorrow at 5 p.m. in a live-stream talk.
Each conversation in the book addresses a specific topic relevant to art museums as they face an accelerated phase of reappraisal and reinvention. The result is a portrait of a generation of museum leaders working to make their institutions more open, democratic, inclusive, experimental, and responsive to the needs of their visitors and communities.
