In a series of authoritative essays, this important new book examines how
museums globally are succeeding – in many different ways – in reaching and
involving social groups traditionally overlooked or excluded from the museum
experience. The New Museum Community is an invaluable and inspiring guide
for any museum, gallery or cultural organisation intent on engaging with the
broadest possible audience.
