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.

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