We are pleased to announce the publication of the latest edition of Museum International entitled “Partnerships & Collaborations”.
Over the past two decades, significant challenges have profoundly affected the cultural and creative sectors, with many museums forced to close or reduce their operations and numerous museum professionals and partners facing layoffs. Museums have accordingly been forced to explore fresh funding sources, expand their services and create new products, while being open to new forms of partnership and collaboration.
This issue reflects on the potential challenges, achievements, limitations and shortcomings that might arise from such partnerships, while addressing museums’ broader financial concerns and exploring potential solutions – including the ethical dilemmas and issues these new collaborations raise. Readers will find key examples of how museums have partnered with numerous sectors, including gaming, hospitality, health, film, real estate and environmental groups.
The issue is available on the Taylor and Francis website:
