During the month of August, ArtMuseumTeaching.com is taking a close look at
the newly published book *Multiculturalism in Art Museums Today *(Rowman &
Littlefield 2014).  Edited by Joni Boyd Acuff and Laura Evans, the book’s
chapters and case studies address critical issues facing museums today such
as cultural misrepresentation in the museum, inequality as it relates to
resources, and the exclusion of certain voices in the museum.



Acuff and Evans kicked off the series of posts last week with “Canopies for
Multiculturalism: (Re)Turning to the Visitor” which provides an excellent
framing of the book, its importance, and its context.
