The Art of being a World Culture Museum
World Culture and Ethnographic Museums are the museums of our time in Europe. They are in the spotlight of a changing society and in the centre of public discourse about cultural diversity, the legacies of colonialism, and the challenges of living together in a society shaped by migration and globalisation. The Art of Being a World Culture Museum sketches the variety and practices of these museums in Europe by giving a lively insight into exhibition ambiances, work environments, museum architecture, and the collections. The visual narrative focuses on contexts rather than objects and enables us to gaze behind the scenes of museum work and to discover angles that are usually concealed from the visitors.
