Conversations with Museum Directors is about far more than the deaccessioning of museum and gallery collections. It’s about how museums will be - must be - different after Covid-19. About a transformed environment, both social and financial, and museums’ total response to it. In a changed and charged reality, deaccessioning is one element of a future in which issues of social justice, inequality, race, pay and decolonisation will impact collections as never before.
It is part of a major new 950-page resource which draws on the experience and thinking of some of the world’s most experienced and respected museum and gallery professionals, with a Foreword by Melody Kanschat and Antoniette M Guglielmo of the Museum Leadership Institute.
