*New Publication: Inspiring Action: Museums and Social Change*

Special-rate Pre-Publication Discount

In this groundbreaking new book, leading museum professionals contribute
practical and inspiring essays on how their institutions are responding to
the new social challenges of the 21st century.

Helping rehabilitate young offenders. Reskilling long-term unemployed
people. Providing new enjoyment for the elderly. Working alongside
disadvantaged minorities. The case studies in this book share pioneering
museum experience from the USA, Europe, Australia and Africa. They explore
the theory and practice of building social inclusion into museum and gallery
programmes.

These case studies are powerful, often moving - and an inspiration to
action.

pages are:

    * Tate Modern
    * Victoria & Albert Museum
    * Royal Armouries
