The Museum As A Space Of Social Care by Nuala Morse, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book explores the realities and potentialities of museums as spaces and agents of social care. Bringing together a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, including professional insights, this book explores the social function of the museum. It provides a theoretical overview of how the 'caring museum' might be conceptualised, exploring how museums promote and engage with communities, co-curation, well-being and affect, and the political, social and economic imperatives to these activities. This book offers new theoretical insights and practical understandings into what the role of the museum is, what it can be, and what it 'ought' to be, in contemporary societies. | The Museum As A Space Of Social Care by Nuala Morse, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
