Re-Imagining Museums for the Future
"One thing ... seems clear," Stephen Weil states, "Tomorrow's museums cannot
be operated with yesterday's skills." Since 20th Century approaches to
self-sustainability are no longer sufficient, this online course examines
innovative strategies for redesigning museums to meet emerging challenges.
This course runs in conjunction with "CONFERENCE 2000 - Designing the Future
Together", the joint meeting of the Western Museums Association and the
British Columbia Museums Association in Victoria, B.C., October 11-14, 2000.
A four-week Internet "seminar" brings participants together online in
advance of the conference to critically review conference themes. You will
meet with other participants and instructors in Victoria during the
Conference, and then gather again online for a five-week post-conference
analysis. Your ability to envision museums of the future is developed
through a discussion of:
* the theory and context of future museums and their audiences
* strategies for working ahead of rapid change
* creating intelligent organizations
* re-imagining our professions in an upside-down world
Through assigned readings, web site reviews, and Internet discussions,
participants and instructors will together investigate current theories,
issues, and trends, maintain on-line journals, and produce research reports.
Instructors: Dr. Michael M. Ames is Adjunct Professor of Cultural Heritage,
Curtin University, Perth, Australia, and the former director of the
University of British Columbia (UBC) Museum of Anthropology and Emeritus
Professor of Anthropology at UBC. Dr. Kersti Krug is Director of Studies for
the new Master's Program in Critical Curatorial Studies at UBC and Manager
