Overview
Course Content:
Museums and galleries face many challenges at the beginning of the 21st century. This
module explores possible museum and gallery futures through a series of scenarios and
case studies that are often based on the thinking and planning of leading institutions.
Scenarios consider both internal and external factors both within the UK and globally.The module aims to provide a critical and creative platform from which the student can
imagine possible museum and gallery futures. The module empowers students to
develop their own research through a combination of related policy and practice-based
assessments, helping them to consider museum and gallery futures within a broadly
