Full Description

Museums today are more than custodians of the past—they are active spaces where history, identity, and memory intersect. This book explores how contemporary museums navigate social change, technological innovation, and evolving cultural narratives. Through a diverse range of essays, scholars examine themes of place-based identity, community engagement, and the impact of digital transformation on museum practices. Case studies include house-museums, national memorials, industrial museums, mobile museum initiatives, and virtual heritage spaces in the Metaverse, offering insights into how institutions foster inclusivity, representation, and heritage preservation. Essential reading for museum professionals, cultural historians, and scholars of memory studies, this volume provides a timely reflection on the evolving role of museums as spaces of dialogue, learning, and social change.
